C.1865, Seth Thomas, OFFICE CALENDAR No. 4, rosewood veneer over pine, double dial calendar clock, 8-day time. Condition: Case retains original finish, a small veneer chip on the lower bezel and a single rosette is missing, lower right. Both dials have been over-painted with a dark ivory colored paint, leaving the original paint around the numerals; don't know if it can be saved or not. Calendar hand is not correct (replacements available from Timesavers in Arizona). For details, see Ly's yellow book on calendar clocks (1997), page 604. Crisp label inside door. Height 28 inches

Lindell,
