Vintage Seth Thomas Kenilworth striking Mantel Clock Model E540-000 RARE. Works

  

Amazing vintage/antique mantel clock by Seth Thomas. There are a few models that look like this.

Commonly referred to as "The Legacy" model. But this is quite different from those.

Comparatively it works in a primitive way. And it is a delight.

These clocks are very attractive. This one is in a very nice, neutral tone. It strikes the hour by virtue of two hammers coming down on two metal rods. The rods reverberate, giving off a very appealing sound.

The number of times corresponds to the hour of the day it is. It has a few nicks and scratches, but overall in very nice condition. It still has its original instructions. If they had not been there, I would've never figured out how to turn this on it has a sort of code to follow. Height 12.5" x width 9.5" x depth 5.
