Folding Seth Thomas 7-jewel travel clock, manual wind, in leather folding case, contemporary label to interior of case with ink note (in the hand of Annie McCarthy), 'Property of Cormac McCarthy, 1967,' 80 x 65 x 28 mm (case size). Provenance: Cormac McCarthy, ink note from in the hand of his wife, 1967; Anne DeLisle. This small travel clock is a relic from early in Cormac and Annie's marriage. The clock accompanied him, and then them, on their travels around Europe in those years.
