  12. Hi. As the label indicates you have the Seth Thomas Brewster Mini. This model if from circa 1924. As described in my reference it should have a 1-day lever time movement No. 102 with a 2-inch porce...
  13. Could you post photo(s) of the porcelain case?
  14. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
  15. Take a clean wad of cotton, dampen it with clean water and use it to gently apply a paste of Cream of Tartar. If done with care, this should help to clean and brighten the silvering without damaging...
  16. Still there?
  17. P.S., glad you decided to keep the clock in its original condition. If an original movement is missing or destroyed, a quartz insert may be a good option, but it would be a last resort. Usually muc...

  30. Your clock is listed simply as an O.G. or O.O.G. From circa 1881. They came in Mahogany or Zebra. Not familiar with the painting on the Tablet. That may have been done by one of the clock's own...
  31. Harold Bain is usually spot on. He does qualify his answer with definitely "Asian". I think Banyan may be a Chinese Company. At least it is now. Here's my source: https://www.wayfair.com/Banyan-...

  43. Nice piece. It's pretty amazing what type of objects/art work can be made into a clock with the fairly accurate and relatively inexpensive battery powered quartz movements. "Time Marches On". Tha...
  44. Good point..."yet". I'm sure it will find a good home with you if you decide to pick it up. Chimers can be high maintenance when the time comes, but I know you take very good care of your collection...
  45. Hey Shawnicus. This looks like a contemporary Ansonia Clock. The Company was re-opened in 1969 under a totally different business entity. In any case, you have a nice looking clock to consider th...
