The 2W was from circa 1961 and had brown Arabic numerals against a light dial. At the time it was one of Seth Thomas' most popular tambour clocks. Its small size (8 /14" high, 16 3/4" wide, 4 3/4" deep) gave the owner many placement/display options. Wood is mahogany with contrasting lighter band along the base.
Since it was a very popular clock, and manufactured recently it is still pretty common. If you follow this eBay link you should be able to get some idea of what their current market value is: http://www.ebay.com/csc/i.html?_nkw=seth+thomas+lynton&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_okw=seth+thomas+lynton&_oexkw=&_adv=1&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200&_fpos=Zip+code&_fsct=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50.
Yours looks like it must have a very pleasant sounding 3 chimerod "Bim-Bam" Strike.
