The brass bezel and dial assembly is in nice condition. The paper part of the dial has been replaced but all othe dial/bezel parts remain original. This clock features the original signed Seth Thomas movement, which 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 toll. 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 also about as nice as they come.
You may notice a little shrinkage at the corners and edges, and some cracking here and there, minor touch-ups, as well as minor dings, dents and scuffs, which is the nature of the Adamantine finish. It is a thin laminate over soft wood, similar to our plastic, and so shrinks, cracks and dents fairly easily with just normal use over time.
It is complete with a key and the origianl'boy on a fence' pendulum and is ready to place up on the mantle and enjoy. The measurements are 13" wide x 11 ½" high x 6 deep. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience. Be very sure to save all packaging material if there is a problem.
