Seth Thomas 8-day 10 inch drop trunk octagon schoolhouse clock, circa 1920s

8-day time only drop trunk octagon "schoolhouse" clock. I can find no model name other than "Drop Octagon 10 inch". Nice oak case has top hinged pendulum door and appears to retain its original finish. Seth Thomas made a number of similar models from around 1890 on into the 1920s, some, like this example, had Arabic numbers. The clock has a Seth Thomas No. 41-AE movement with half-deadbeat escapement and a functioning "stop work". Stamped "ST Made in USA". The label is missing, the glass is a replacement, and the original dial pan had been recently repainted. The clock was purchased on eBay for the Town of Trappe, Inc. and after being serviced was hung in City Hall in 2009.
