Fully & Properly Restored Seth Thomas Carved Wood Mantel Clock, Model No. 820

FULLY & PROPERLY RESTORED SETH THOMAS PRESSED AND CARVED WOOD MANTEL CLOCK, MODEL NO. The clock has a fully and properly restored model 44 movement, a robust time and strike movement that Seth Thomas used in both wall and mantel clocks before they developed the 89 movement. 820 is shown in Lys Seth Thomas book in two locations. It is shown on page 732 as item 2494 and again on page 742 as item 2534. As I said, this clock was one of a series of seven different carved case clocks that were produced at the end of the 19. The manufacture date of manufacture of October 1891 is confirmed with the date code shown on the back of the clock. This clock strikes the hour and the half-hour on a deep sounding coil gong that Seth Thomas called a Cathedral Bell. The finish and general condition of the clock is in very good condition for a clock that is almost 120 years old. I ask you to please examine the 11 high resolution pictures carefully as they provide much of the description for this fine timepiece. Case dimensions are 15.5 inches wide, 10.5 inches high and 6.5 inches deep. Clock comes complete with the original pendulum and a quality replica winding key complete with the ST logo. It is a simple task to reinstall and instructions will be provided. WHAT MAKES A CLOCK A GOOD VALUE? The rules of economics are fairly straightforward. Simply put, it is almost impossible to spend a little and get a lot. Antique and vintage clocks follow these rules as well. I have tried through the photos to show the basic steps that I do in restoring these wonderful machines to their original state. My goal is to provide you with a quality time piece that will provide enjoyment and be a source of pride in your home for years to come. Equally important to me is to provide you with a clock that I believe will retain its value over the years. That is what I think constitutes real value in antique and vintage clocks. MY PHILOSOPHY ON CLOCKS AND CLOCK MOVEMENTS. The only way to properly repair a movement is to completely disassemble, clean and inspect all parts, and make the needed repairs by proper horoligical methods. This includes the rebushing of all worn holes and the polishing of any rough pivots. The movements are then reassembled, lubricated with a high-quality clock oil and test run for 8 days. This is a very time intensive process but is the only correct way to properly recondition a clock movement. You should expect a movement repaired in this manner to run for ten years trouble-free. I have been doing clock repair for over 39 years. I apprenticed under an Oregon State licensed repairman and have been a member of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC) since 1981. I do not make a living doing this; it has become a passion of mine. Once they are made like new mechanically, I put them up for sale in the hopes of paying for my materials and upgrading my personal collection. My hope is also to provide you with an heirloom to cherish for years to come. Read my feedback and you can see that I live by these words. I also provide a set of General Clock Instructions that will answer about 95% of the questions that may arise during the set up of the clock. I start with a high-quality box.
