The Seth Thomas Model 6 was the lower-grade version of the  factory's open-face Model 3, which was the successor to the coarse-trained Model 1. The total production of both the open-face and hunter versions was around 140,000, but the first few runs were special and carried the markings of an eagle in one of three sizes with a corresponding colored dial of either blue or pink. The run totals were well into the thousands, but since these variants were not marked as to the maker nobody seemed to realize that they were Seth Thomas watches, and are very scarce for this reason. This 7-jewel example has the largest eagle and was just fully restored with a new balance staff as it nears its 130th year of service. The matching blue dial has the correct Eagle signature behind light blue spade hands, and it's housed in a shiny nickel swingcase that was converted to display to show off the movement. There's new glass on both sides, a tight bow, and a sharp crown to make winding easy.
