Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine 8 Day Mantle Clock 1890's Serviced & Running

  

Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine 8 Day Mantle Clock 1890's Serviced & Running. Here is a nice condition "Adamantine" finish 8 day time and strike mantle clock made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co. In Thomaston, Connecticut during the 1890's. It has the tan marble-look Adamantine top and trim against the solid black Adamantine body. All of the original feet and ornaments remain and are in great shape.

And, although their finish is worn, it is original. Everything on this clock, for the most part, is untouched and original including the original label. The solid brass dial and bezel assembly is a nice one.

These old solid brass bezels are somewhat hard to find. They look beautiful and last forever. This clock features the original 1890's Seth Thomas movement, which has been cleaned and is in good running condition, keeping time and striking properly, counting the hour, i. 1 gong at 1:00, 2 gongs at 2:00, etc. And announcing the half hour with a single gong.

It is a quality movement that, if properly maintained, should last many lifetimes. The "Adamantine" finish, which is a patented laminate finish from the late 1800's, is in good shape for its age. You may notice a little shrinkage at the corners and edges, and some cracking here and there, with 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. However, although this clock obviously aged being from the 1890's, the Adamantine is in pretty remarkable conditon. The measurements are 16 ¾" wide x 11" high x 7 deep. This clock comes complete with a key and the hard to find original 1890's pendulum and is ready to place up on the mantle and enjoy. 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.
