Seth Thomas; Plymouth Hollow, Conn. 8 Day Column and Cornice Clock; circa 1860-1865
Here is a Seth Thomas Column and Cornice clock in the as found condition, and I do mean as found. The columns are shot, the veneer is shot, the dial is shot and the label has disintegrated, but the two tablets are original and in perfect condition. The only reason I bought this was for the tablets.
Here is the Seth Thomas Column and Cornice clock with its restoration complete. Lots of new veneer on this one along with some nicely restored columns. I made a good copy of a label from a similar clock and pasted it to the backboard, so that looks very presentable.
