This review is from: Seth Thomas Clocks and Movements: A Guide to Identification and Prices (Paperback)

Tran Duy Ly has a series of clock books for Identification and Pricing. His books are FAR SUPERIOR to ANY other clock book of their type. Whether you're a novice or advanced collector, you cannot do without his guides. His comprehensive guides offer hundreds of photos and illustrations of actual clocks produced from owners and manufacturers original catalogs. His books offer difinitive answers to your questions about authenticity of your prized timepiece. His thorough review of the companies history and other details mandate these books as a requirement for the clock enthusiast. His books picture the various movements that were utilized and even several pendulums. His pricing scheme utilized is NOT based on only one persons opinion to thier value. He involves an international base of "experts" on the chosen topic and through their inputs to the value (from across the U.S. and abroad) arrives at an average value for each clock. Each book contains values for most every model of clock produced by factories such as Gustav Becker and American firms such as Seth Thomas and others. I have been fortunate to be selected to assist Mr. Ly in compiling and pricing several of his books. Having bought and sold in excess of 20,000 antique clocks, I share my knowledge with YOU. Mr. Ly's guides have set the standard for clock identification and pricing. Superior quality in photos, organization, and materials. MARTY & KIM WILKEY
