Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantle Clock 1905 Serviced and Running

Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine Mantle Clock 1905 Serviced and Running. This is a nice condition “Adamantine” finish 8 day time and strike mantle clock made by the Seth Thomas Clock Co. In Thomaston, Connecticut nearly 120 years ago. This clock also features the original signed Seth Thomas 1905 movement, which has been cleaned and is in good running condition, keeping time and striking properly, counting the hour, i. 1 gong at 1:00, 2 gongs at 2:00, etc. On an antique cathedral gong, and announcing the half hour with a single toll. It is a quality movement that, if properly maintained, should last many lifetimes. The simulated rosewood case is a rare to find model. It seems to be a predecessor, or at least early example, of the tambour style clock that has been an overall favorite from then all the way up until this day. The “Adamantine” finish, which is a patented laminate finish from the late 1800’s, is in very nice shape for its age. You may notice a little shrinkage at the corners and edges, and some cracking here and there, with minor dings, and scuffs, which is the nature of the Adamantine finish. It is a thin laminate over soft wood and so shrinks, cracks and dents fairly easily with just normal use over time. However, although this clock is obviously aged being close to a hundred and twenty years old, the Adamantine, as stated, is in very good condition, as can be seen in the pictures. The measurements are 17 wide x 9. ” high x 6″ deep. The solid brass bezel and painted dial assembly is in very nice condition. The signed Seth Thomas dial shows some age and wear but is about as nice as you find them. This clock comes complete with the key and original pendulum and is ready to place up on the mantle and enjoy. This helps ensure that the new owner will have a satisfying experience.
