    This clock was made about 1845, the fourth year that Seth Thomas made brass movement ogee clocks. It has the unusual feature of a brass nameplate on the dial.

    Features:

    * Ogee case, non-original lower glass, made in Plymouth Hollow, glasses held with wood strips. Height 26?, width 15 11/16?, depth 4 5/16?;
    * Dial: metal, two rings drawn around time track, dots for minute marks;
    * Early features of dial: tapered numerals 3, 4 and 8, small winding holes (8.2 mm);
    * Label: printed by Elihu Geer, Hartford, Connecticut, no address given. This dates it to 1842 – 1845;
    * Movement: type 1.241, early.

    The lower glass tablet in the door is a reproduction of an original and is painted on old glass.

      It is beautiful. I have a clock much like this on and would like to replace the worn lower glass tablet with a reproduction of an original as you mentioned. Where can I purchase the tablet and what is the cost? Thank you, Cris

      Very nice Ogee... Great label! I love old American clocks and the Ogee is one of my favorites. Neat to think this was ticking away somewhere all thru the Civil War...

      Why is everyone NOT MENTIONING the FRET (definite grove carved on face of clock) with movingbackground? Can it be true, none of you know of any other Seth Thomas Clock with a REAL LIVE FRET! Pls. address this issue with a "yea" or "nay". I am beginning to feel aa if I am in the "Twilight Zone" all by myself.

      I have a very similar Seth Thomas clock I inherited from my father and grandfather, but my brother didn't give me the 2 keys to wind it up. Where can I get keys? Thanks very much!
