NOTE: According to Tran Duy Ly’s 1996 “Seth Thomas Clocks & Movement” guide book the following it noted. Most white metal and brass ornamentals are gilded or silver plated. GREAT CARE MUST BE USED when cleaning these surfaces. The thin layer of gilding or silver plating will be easily removed by cleaning solutions or strong rubbing. If you believe cleaning is necessary, hire a professional and avoid the expense of re-gilding or re-plating. The items I sell are vintage or antique and come from various estates.
