This is an original Seth Thomas No. 2 case and it appears to be walnut. The case is nice enough to use as is, but could be restored to perfection. It looks like the bezel is missing some veneer, and this one may have had an external bell or something like that because there is a cutout in the side that is covered with a tin/metal plate. You don’t find walnut cases all that often and this one is priced to sell so don’t miss it. The rest of the clock is being sold in my other listings.
