Antique seth thomas adamantine mantle clock
THIS CLOCK BELONGS TO AN 84 YEAR OLD LADY WHO GOT IT FROM HER PARENTS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO, SHE HAD IT CHECKED BY A CLOCK REPAIRMAN AND TAUGHT HER HOW AND WHEN TO WIND IT. SHE TOLD ME SHE COULD NEVER KEEP A GOOD SCHEDULE GOING TO WIND IT, SO SHE JUST QUIT TRYING. IT’S JUST SAT ON THE MANTLE SINCE. I LOOKED IT OVER AND HAVE FOUND ONE HAIRLINE SCRATCH ON THE TOP THAT REQUIRED ME TO TURN UPSIDE DOWN AND BACK WARDS TO SEE. THERE ARE NO CHIPS OR DENTS ON IT AT ALL. THE FINISH IS AWESOME. INSIDE, THE MOVEMENT HAS A SETH THOMAS LOGO STAMPED INTO THE BRASS THAT TELLS ME THEY NOT ONLY MADE THE EXTERIOR, BUT THE MOVEMENT AS WELL. I HAVE NOT WOUND IT AS I DO NOT WANT TO DO SOMETHING STUPID. IT’S WELL WORTH OWNING.
