Antique Seth Thomas "Shasta" Style Adamantine Mantle Clock Running C. This is an awesome-looking clock made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co.

USA in the very early 1900's. This model is one of the favorites and most highly sought after among antique clock collectors.

It is a larger than usual model that boasts a serpentine top, celluloid drum sides, full round celluloid columns, larger than usual paw feet, a heavier than usual brass bezel and thicker beveled glass crystal. The signed Seth Thomas 8 day time and strike movement has been serviced and is in good running and gonging order. The "Adamantine" finish, which is a patented laminate finish from the late 1800's, is in good shape for its age. You usually will notice a little shrinkage at the corners and edges and some cracking here and there, as well as plenty of minor dings, dents and scuffs, which is the nature of the Adamantine finish.

It is a thin laminate over soft wood, and so shrinks, cracks and dents fairly easily with just normal use over time. But this one is in remarkable shape for its age and is in about as nice condition as you will find. As mentioned the brass bezel and gilded paw feet are oversized compared to the average mantle clock.

They appear to be original finish and show normal tarnish and wear. The paper dial is a replacement but the original solid brass dial pan is still intact. As stated, it runs well, keeps time and gongs properly.

It counts each hour on a mellow sounding antique cathedral gong, i. 1 gong at 1:00, 2 gongs at 2:00, etc.

And announces each half hour with a single brass bell chime. This will be a very enjoyable clock to own.

This helps insure that the new owner will have a satifying experience. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem. All sales are final, (with the exception noted below). It is nearly impossible to find one in "mint" condition. If a clock has damage from misuse, it will be noted.
