This clock is a rare find as it is still running well and includes the original key. The Seth Thomas brand, known for its quality timepieces, adds to the appeal of this unique and authentic piece.

The clock is in nice condition with no major issues. It appears that it had a dedication plate on the stand, just below the clock. It could be color matched pretty easily, but it’s not noticeable enough to worry about. Mechanically the clock is mostly untested. It was wound and ticked while it was being listed. When the hands were cycled it chimed. This is a nice heavy clock issued by Seth Thomas and it’s priced to sell so don’t miss it!
