We've only had a couple of this particular Seth Thomas model in the past. Most remain securely locked in major collections, not even remotely available. As you look, consider that the photos don't accentuate the fact that this is a large clock, 50" in length. Also, be sure to look at the unusual viewing window in the bottom through which you can see the nickel pendulum bob.
Physical: This Office Calendar No. 5 is in excellent physical condition. It measures 24"w x 50"h x 8"d. The original finish is in place, having a recent professionally applied additional coat of shellac, just like in the factory, rubbed out and waxed. It's gorgeous!
The 14" diameter dials have the original paint. Both are in very good condition. The roller papers are recent. Hands and weight are original; movements are original to the case. Again, it's a beautiful specimen, just waiting for you.
Mechanical: The eight-day, time-only, single-weight clock movement and the 31-day calendar movement are both original to the clock and in excellent running order. Both were recently professionally overhauled.

When you look at the photo of the clock movement, note the precision beat-adujustment assembly on the pendulum. These clocks were built to be very accurate time-keepers.
Comments: This is a model that is not often available. It was purchased right and the price is significantly less than that of the previous one's we've sold. Is it the one for which you've been waiting...?

Beautiful Seth Thomas Office Calendar No 13
in Cherry
|
|
|
Ship From So. CA
|
|
In our's opinion, the most beautiful non-burled cases Seth Thomas made were those in cherry. We've just sold a cherry No.9 that hung in our hallway for nearly two years and became perhaps our personal favorite during its tenure here. We had a beautiful new kitchen built from scratch about three years ago and used this same natural cherry wood. That kitchen gets great oohs and ahhs when people see if for the first time. Just like people will fawn over your new Office Calendar 13 in cherry.
Physical: The solid cherry case, which measures 18"w x 49"h x 7"d retains the original finish. It has been cleaned up and polished and has a lovely luster to it. The clock dial was touched up, and the calendar dial repainted by the famous dial-painter, Martha Smallwood. The glass is original. Note the signature on the dial of the Jeweler who sold the clock, or, more likely, had it in his own shop:
Mechanical: The movements have been professionially overhauled and run perfectly. The clock is an eight-day movement; the calendar 31 days. The calendar roller dials are original
Comments: We may have had only one of this model available to us in the past. This model uses the same case as the very popular Seth Thomas Regulator 30. Perhaps you own a No.30, or perhaps you own another similar-sized Seth Clock in cherry with with this would be a great hanging partner.
