ANTIQUE SETH THOMAS RARE UTICA CITY SERIES WALNUT PARLOR CLOCK With LYRE MVMT

  
THIS IS AN ANTIQUE 1885 SETH THOMAS SCARCE UTICA MODEL CITY SERIES MANTEL CLOCK WITH A LARGE 8 DAY MOVEMENT THAT HAS LYRE SHAPED PLATES. THE MODEL IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE AND THE MOVEMENT LOOKS RECENTLY CLEANED. THE CARVED WOOD CASE IS WALNUT WITH A CARVED BLACK WALNUT TOP CREST. THE WOOD CASE IS IN AMAZING CONDITION AND FINISH (WHICH MAY BE ORIGINAL) IS GORGEOUS.

THE CLOCK FEATURES: THE SIDE HANDLE MOLDING THAT EXTENDS OFF OF THE SIDES OF THE DOOR, THE TOP CREST WITH THE FINIALS, AND THE LAYERED FEDERAL BASE MOLDING. THE BACK OF THE CASE HAS AN 1885 REVERSE STAMPED DATE CODE.

THE LABEL HAS A LOT OF WEAR AND IT IS HARD TO READ. THE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE GONG IS SIGNED AND DATED. THE WOOD HAS A FEW TINY SCUFFS AND DINGS. THE TOP RIGHT FINIAL HAS GLUE RESIDUE AROUND THE CENTER. THE FRONT DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES NICELY WITH THE LEFT SIDE PUSH BUTTON LOCKING MECHANISM.

THE GLASS IS ORIGINAL, AND IT HAS THE REVERSE PAINTED FISH STENCILED SCENE THAT IS UNIQUE TO THIS MODEL. THE DIAL WAS NICELY REPAPERED OVER THE ORIGINAL ZINC FACE.

THE DIAL RESTORATION MUST HAVE BEEN DECADES AGO, BECAUSE IT HAS A LITTLE STAINING. THE STEEL SPADE PIN-SET HANDS ADVANCE AND INITIATE THE STRIKE PROPERLY. THE LARGE BRASS LYRE SHAPED MOVEMENT HAS 8 DAY SPRINGS, AND BOTH SPRINGS WIND SMOOTHLY.

THE CLOCK HAS A GONG STRIKE TO COUNT THE HOURS, AND THIS EARLY MOVEMENT DOES NOT HAVE A PASSING HALF-HOUR STRIKE. THE MOVEMENT LOOKS RECENTLY CLEANED AND IT IS EXTREMELY EASY TO BALANCE. THE GONG IS A CATHEDRAL GONG AND IT SOUNDS FANTASTIC. THE CLOCK COMES WITH THE PENDULUM AND A KEY THAT WORKS FOR THIS CLOCK.
