Seth Thomas Adamantine 8 Day Time And Strike Mantel Clock
SETH THOMAS CLOCK WITH THE ADAMANTINE FINISH WHICH WAS A LAMINATE OR PLASTIC THAT CAN TAKE A VERY HIGH SHINE. IT IS VERY DURABLE AND CLOCKS WITH THIS FINISH USUALLY LOOK AS GOOD AS THE DAY THEY WERE MADE ABOUT 100 YEARS AGO. IT HAS A GREAT LABEL ON THE BACK. IT WAS SERVICED AND AT LEAST ONE BUSHING PLACED. IT IS RUNNING AND STRIKING WELL. AS THE STORY GOES, ONLY SETH THOMAS KNEW THE FORMULA FOR THE ADAMANTINE FINISH. SO, HE INVENTED PLASTIC MANY YEARS PRIOR TO IT’S INTRODUCTION. I SEE A LOT OF NON SETH THOMAS CLOCKS ADVERTISED AS ADAMANTINE AND THAT IS FALSE ADVERTISING AND NOT TRUE.
