<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 11804277, member: 5170&quot;]Greetings Culture Fans:</p><p><br /></p><p>Just scored this beautifully cased clock by Seth Thomas &amp; Sons ca. 1874. It features Diana with a companionable arm around a greyhound, holding a bow in the other hand while she presumably imparts the nuances of the hunt to her eager friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seth Thomas and Sons was formed by Seth&#039;s three sons after he passed, and existed from 1865-1879. This was their premium line of clocks; in this case the movement lasts for a hefty 10 days-2 weeks, with the sweetest bell strike ever in my experience. After 150 years it&#039;s accurate to less than a minute&#039;s error per day.</p><p><br /></p><p>The case is spelter and patinated spelter, weighing about 30 pounds. It features a stag&#039;s head with antlers, bellflowers, swags, pineapples and acanthus leaves. I feel especially lucky to have the bow, which in almost every case has been lost over time. I do wish I had the arrow......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]548747[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
