Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantle Clock Running C. 1900

  
Antique Seth Thomas 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 one of the few models made with six full round celluloid columns. 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 dings, dents, scuffs, and touch-ups 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. The brass bezel and dial assembly is also in good condition. The paper dial shows some sign of wear but is in above average condition compared to most that have survived 115+ years. 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 clock measures 18" wide x 11" high x 7 ½ deep, and comes complete with a key and the original pendulum.

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.
