Restored Working! Antique Seth Thomas Chicago Shelf Clock 8 Day Mechanical

This Seth Thomas Chicago Shelf clock is in excellent condition. The clock’s exterior has been beautifully restored and looks excellent. The only issue is that when the door closes and is locked, there is a gap at the top of the clock (See HD pictures). We attempted multiple adjustments to fix this, but we were unsuccessful. The clock would have been made around the late 1800s. The movement has been properly cleaned and oiled and keeps very good time. The clock chimes on the hour. As you will notice in the video, the chimes do not sound nice. This is because back in this time period, most homes only had one clock. So the goal wasn’t to make a pretty sound, the goal was for this sound to be loud and heard throughout the whole house. So if you want a clock that makes a nice chiming sound, this is NOT the clock for you. The alarm mechanism does work, though I did not include that in the video. Setting the alarm on these antique clocks is a complicated process. Please inspect all the HD pictures closely.
