Antique Seth Thomas Shasta Style Adamantine Mantle Clock Running L-2

  
Antique Seth Thomas "Shasta" Style Adamantine Mantle Clock Running. This great looking clock was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co. USA in the very early 1900's, right around 1908. This model is one of the favorites and most highly sought after among antique clock collectors. It is a larger than usual model that boasts a serpentine top, celluloid drum sides, full round celluloid columns, paw feet and a beautiful beaded brass bezel. 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 minor dings, dents, fading 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. The case measures 16½" wide x 11½" high x 6 deep. The solid brass bezel and signed paper dial assembly is original and in nice antique aged condition. This clock 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. Complete with a key and pendulum, it is ready to set up on the mantle and enjoy. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience.
