Note regarding angel’s index finger: our clock professional explained that the index finger of the original spelter-case design was not pointed; the metal joins together normally at the end of the index finger, as is shown in the overhead pictures. Apparently, some folks attempted to add a “pointed” index finger – which is easily broken – during successive years after these original clocks were made.

BOX SIZE: 30x18x18 / Boxed WEIGHT: 24 lbs. Thank you for looking at this incredible Seth Thomas clock titled Guardian Angel. This clock is as original as you are ever likely to find. No radiator paint here, as it retains the original finish , movement, fantastic porcelain dial and glass that is over 1/4 thick. The most common issue with this model is the upward pointing finger and hand having been broken This has the original, unbroken never mended hand and finger. That is why it is so nice, never moved around. This clock movement may need oiling and cleaning as it has not been done for a while. Which by the way it runs and chimes accurately. There is a small spot. On the back of one wing at the body that shows an old touchup, may be from a scrape or void. The wing however has NOT been broken off. I never noticed it before today. Also the back cover may have had a hinge at one time. Therefore I will remove the angel and child and pack them in separate boxes. I will remove the movement and pack that in its own box and the case also. These will all be packed into a very large box so everything arrives at one time. Final box should be 18x18x30 and about 24 pounds. Thank you for looking. I often sell antiques and vintage items, sometimes they come with dust, scratches, bumps, bruises and the like.
