This is a BEAUTIFUL example of a Seth Thomas LARGE OFFICE-PARLOR DOUBLE DIAL CALENDAR NUMBER 3 WALL CLOCK in wonderful SUPERIOR 100% ALL ORIGINAL NEAR MINT condition.

It is a very classy wall clock in need of a warm loving home. This is one of the finest examples of an office-parlor calendar clock we've ever seen. It is all original and in near mint condition. The only part not mint is the veneer at the very top. The rest of the clock is mint and original – even the original dials – most have had to be repainted by not – not this clock! The top and bottom glass is original. The month and day papers are original. This clock was made circa 1879 and is listed in the book Seth Thomas Clock and Movements Third edition on page 105. It has a very large heavy duty signed "Seth Thomas Clock Co" 8-day time, strike and calendar movement. It is a very strong runner! The movement runs very well, STRIKES ON A GREAT SOUNDING BELL and keeps good time. The calendar movement is original and advances correctly. The Seth Thomas Clock Company was begun in 1810 by Seth Thomas Sr. and has been known for making high quality clocks. With this clock being on of its finest examples.

This is a superior, unbelievable wonderful clock.

It has an adjustment for fast and slow on the heavy ORIGINAL very heavy pendulum. The (original bezel) metal around the dial is ageing to a very beautiful patina. The front is original and perfect with its original glass on the top and the bottom and the original door lock works well. The movement is signed (see picture). Complete with the very heavy (makes the timekeeping very accurate) Seth Thomas pendulum and the original key. This clock runs really great! The finish looks superior and is the original finish; the veneer is perfect with the exception of the top trim. This is such a nice clock it would be worthwhile to hire a master woodworker to fix the top veneer to match as the rest of the clock is perfect and original. The clock is large and heavy and measures 26 5/8 inches high, 5inches deep and 13½ inches wide. These antique clocks amaze me - could you imagine any other consumer product still working after nearly 100 years! And the truly amazing thing with proper care they will work easily past the next 100 years, with this clock going well beyond that! If you are looking for an antique clock that has all its original parts and looks like it was cherished its whole life – this is it!

The name Seth Thomas is synonymous with high quality and good taste. Not always the first on the scene with the latest movement "improvement" or flashy case style, Seth Thomas was slow to adopt changes and only when the marketplace had given it acceptance to other companys' breakthrough advances would Seth Thomas slowly and carefully bring their high quality clocks to the marketplace. The results, however, were always the same. When the Seth Thomas clock arrived it was an instant success and it captured the market.

As the years have passed, the quality of Seth Thomas clocks has been proven over and over. They are the best.

Antique Clocks are a Fine Investment.

Each one has a unique quality, as well as appreciating in value and beauty with age. You will become attached to your antique clocks and they will become a meaningful and important part of your life adding untold joy each day you own them. They can be handed down from one generation to another as they increase daily in value. Antique clocks serve many purposes other than being useful in telling time, decorative in your home, a valuable asset in your estate and above all a faithful servant and friend which will be true to you to the end of time.

This clock will be packed very very carefully by our award winning packing department

(my wife Donna – receiving a perfect “10” from a gracious customer) to insure a safe delivery and the buyer is to pay $36.50 for shipping, packing and ins. I will gladly answer any emails promptly. I have always hated that "reserve" when I have bid myself so this fine clock has no reserve and a very very (gulp) low starting bid. We love these clocks and I will be glad to help you set up your new clock, or answer questions long after the sale via email. Personal checks are welcome, but will cause a 10-day delay in shipping. Pay Pal accepted.

We will be going to a clock convention in Chattanooga in our vintage Airstream (with all the kitties!) from the 25th until the 4th of September. . This is one of our favorite conventions – everyone is so great! It looks like we’ll probably not have internet access during the trip. We used to try to get to Kinko's, but it makes it hard with all the convention activities and all the driving. We will ship promptly upon our return. Sorry for the inconvenience!
