| Catalog Description:
C.1884, Seth Thomas "Office Calendar No. 5" in oak and in excellent original condition. There are some flakes on the dials which keep this clock out of the "outstanding" category, but they are original, and most folks would be happy with them. This is a large and heavy clock, so be sure you have a strong stud to hang it on. The dials are 14". Note there is a glass covered crescent shaped opening at the bottom where the swinging pendulum and index can be seen. The door over this area is still intact and has never been broken off (a troublesome spot on this model). The original finish on this oak case has been carefully cleaned and waxed and is an attractive golden color. We have seen this model sell recently for $17,000, and our estimate is quite reasonable. For addition information on this model, see Tran Duy Ly's yellow calendar book, page 250, item 606. Height 50 inches
