| Catalog Description:
C.1886, Seth Thomas, MARCY in very good to excellent original condition; strikes the quarters on 2 cupped bells and the hours on a cathedral gong. We have had 4 of these clocks over the past 25 years, and this is the nicest we have had. It is a one owner clock that was shipped to us from the UK. The original dial is remarkable, with the name of the retailer: R. SALSBURY and SONS, GUILDFORD. The oak veneer retains original golden finish with some minor nicks and scrapes, commensurate with age. Retains good interior label. For illustrations of the movement, see Ly's 1996 book on Seth Thomas, pages 148-49. Also refer to lot 467 in our April 2001 sale, which fetched over $5000 with premium. Height 46 inches
