Catalogue, 1906-1907, Sept. 1, 1906 / Seth Thomas Clock Company
A trade catalogue issued in 1906 by the Seth Thomas Clock Company of New York, presenting its mantel and shelf clock line to retailers and buyers. The pictures are plain black-and-white halftone views of wooden clock cases, showing carved crests, glazed dial doors with Roman numerals, and pendulum bobs. A designer could draw on their ornate Victorian case profiles, carved scrollwork, and classic clock-face typography.
