🕰 History

  • Seth Thomas Clock Company, founded in 1813, was one of the most prolific American clockmakers.

  • This model was part of the “picture dial” or “decorative wall” series, appealing to post-war 
  • Clocks with original pendulums and keys, and clear paint with no fading fetch higher prices.
  • Values tend to be higher if listed on Etsy, specialty vintage shops, or clock collector groups, versus general auction sites.


 🔧 Notes for Collectors


  • Pendulum should swing freely — check that clock is level.
  • If not running: may need minor service or oiling. Most use spring-driven mechanical movement.
