| Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas mantle clock, "Greek", ca 1884. 8 day, striking a nickel bell on the hours, running fine. Matching Seth Thomas nickel pendulum and rod, and dial rings. It has a new dial pan and dial paint. Full black label inside, original glass. 24 inch walnut case was evidently very dirty and was partially cleaned. Some of the finish is lighter in color. I wouldn't do a thing to the case, although some folks may want it refinished completely to better highlight the nice walnut wood. If there is anything replaced on this clock besides the dial, I would probably point to the urn. It may have been added in later life, if so a great piece of work. Ly-Seth Thomas No.1296.
