🕰 History
- Seth Thomas Clock Company, founded in 1813, was one of the most prolific American clockmakers.
- By the 1950s–60s, the company had diversified into electric and novelty clocks.
- 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.
- Originality matters — e.g., dial artwork and stenciling.
