Clock is in a really great shape. I don’t know a whole lot about the mechanisms of clocks. The pendulum seems to swing, but I don’t see the hands necessarily moving. Just looking at the mechanism it doesn’t seem to be damaged in any kind of way.

Please review all pictures for overall condition and size, as THIS forms the overall condition/description of the item. Wear is consistent with age and use. Has some scratches, cracked veneer, scuffs, loose face, paint loss and chips, dust, etc. Review pictures closely for overall condition. It is as found, we haven’t tried to wind it or move the hands. It has a weight with it. Unsure what it needs to get going and is untested overall. It most certainly will need some service and cleaning. The part of the body that has the dial attached, needs to be secured to the main body and is loose. Looks to be missing […]

You are looking at a beautiful Seth Thomas Burl Wood clock. The key is with it and I wound it. I tried to start the pendulum, but not sure if it is on correctly, so from fear of overwinding or breaking something I left it be. Photo #9 shows a couple of rough spots on the top back edge with a coin between them. The brass or copper is tarnished. This measures approximately 16 1/2 x 7″ deep x 10 3/4″. PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT ALL 16 PICTURES AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL CONDITION. Thanks for looking, Karla.
