Antique Seth Thomas 8 Day Beehive Style Clock Serviced & Running

  

Antique Seth Thomas 8 Day Beehive Style Clock Serviced & Running. This nice looking clock was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in Thomaston, Conn. This model features an earlier signed Seth Thomas 8 day movement that is in good running and gonging order.

It counts out each hour, i. 1 gong at 1:00, 2 gongs at 2:00, etc.

On a high quality flat coil gong that has a great resonating sound, and announces each half hour with a single toll. The case is classic in style and craftsmanship. It is still in the original finish and has aged beautifully and is in good condition. Notice the string inlay all around the edges and the beautiful inlay decorations above and below the dial. There are a couple minor scratches on top.

The original porcelain enamel dial and solid brass bezel with beveled edge glass assembly is in good condition. There is a little roughage around the fast/slow arbor and a small flake at the edge near the 8. The case is a little larger than normal measuring 15 high x 9½ wide x 6½ deep. This was actually the practice of the Seth Thomas Clock Co.

We will include easy to re-install instructions, which basically requires putting the gong stand back in its hole and fastening the nut from underneath. This clock comes complete with the pendulum and a key that fits. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience.
