This clock probably started out in a commercial/industrial environment probably as a master clock or control center as the sophisticated lock on the door is unusual. After it became obsolete it was probably converted to its current configuration. It was in rough shape and looked like it had been stored in a barn for many years, but I bought anyway it because besides the calendar movement and dial it was complete and undamaged. It has been sitting around my shop for many years and since I retired recently, I finally had the time and impetus to restore it. The case looks to be American Chestnut and is 7/8 thick. The movement is an extended run Seth Thomas 86G with minimal wear on it and it runs without problems. The springs were replaced and the movement was cleaned and lubricated. The dial seems to be original to the unit, and the door glass looks original to the case. It measures 48″ x 21″ x 8 and weighs close to 65 pounds. I was never able to find a replacement calendar movement and dial.

Base Length: Approximately 19.25. Total Weight: Approximately 8 lbs 14 oz. Clock is not currently tested, as the original winding key is not included. Both wheel assemblies show some looseness and will likely require tightening or adjustment. Overall presents well with expected age-related wear.

Seth Thomas Clock Company was one of the most respected American clockmakers of the 19th and 20th centuries, widely known for producing durable, precise timepieces used in homes, railroads, naval vessels, and industrial settings. Combined with the barometer, this set would have provided both timekeeping and weather forecasting functions essential for marine travel and power squadron navigation.
