Seth Thomas Mantel Clock

This nice old clock was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in Thomaston, Conn., USA during the 1930's. This model features a signed Seth Thomas #124 movement, one of the best mechanical Westminster Chime clock movements ever made. We have wound it up for a test run and find that it is in good running condition, keeping time and chiming properly. In case you are not familiar with Westminster Chimes, these are the ones that play a tune every 15 minutes; 4 notes on the quarter; 8 notes on the ½ hour; 12 notes at the ¾ hour; and then the full 16 note tune on the hour, followed by the hour toll, i.e. 1 toll at 1:00, 2 tolls at 2:00, etc. It has the nice skeleton style solid brass Seth Thomas dial and solid brass bezel assembly that is in great condition. The beautiful deluxe waterfall style case is a bit larger than usual with side extensions and rare garland decoraction below the dial. It is still in the original finish so will appear authentically, yet gently, aged. This clock has been very well taken care of over the years. The case measurements are 15 ½ wide x 9 ¼ high x 6 ¼ deep. This clock comes complete with a key and original pendulum. Color: Brown, Gold Origin: United States • American Item type: Vintage
