Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantle Clock Made in 1895

  
Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantle Clock Made in 1895. Here is another beautiful clock.

This one was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co, Thomaston, Conn. The original signed Seth Thomas movement has been serviced and is in good running and gonging order.

Our service includes ultrasonic cleaning and repair of anything that might be found wrong. The "Adamantine" finish, which is a patented laminate finish first used in the late 1800's, is in good shape for its age. There is a bit of reddish tint wearing through in a couple areas of the black finish giving it a gently aged look. You may see a little shrinkage at the corners and edges, some cracking here and there and some touch ups, as well as minor denting and scuffs, which is the nature of the Adamantine finish. It is a thin, soft laminate similar to our plastic, and so shrinks, cracks and dents fairly easily with just normal use over time. The light brown Adamantine trim against the jet black background is extremely nice looking. The brass dial pan and bezel assembly are original with a newer reproduction Seth Thomas paper dial added. 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 toll. It measures 16" wide x 10 ¾" high x 7 deep. It also comes complete with a key and pendulum.

This is a very elegant looking clock and everyone who sees it loves it. 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. If a clock is running properly when it arrives... Thats about the best we can do. We try to describe everything exactly as it is and if we do something wrong, we will make it right. We do not use our computers on Sunday, the Lord's day, but will answer any emails Monday through Saturday and do whatever we can to resolve any problems.
