Antique Seth Thomas Banjo Clock Wall Works! Green Flowers Eagle Finial See Video

ANTIQUE SETH THOMAS BANJO CLOCK WALL WORKS! GREEN WITH FLOWERS & EAGLE FINIAL. PLEASE WATCH MY VIDEO. I LIKE THE HISTORY OF THINGS, SO HERE GOES… THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS A GERMAN IMMIGRANT. HIS PASTIME WAS COLLECTING AND FIXING RARE ANTIQUE CLOCKS. GARAGE FULL OF THEM. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS ONE. IT 100% DOES WORK. THAT BEING SAID, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE GENTLEMAN HAD HAD TO DO ANYTHING TO THIS CLOCK. IT HAS A WINDING MECHANISM ON THE BACK AND A HAND-SET OPTION. PLUSS A F–S SCALE. THIS IS DONE IN A DARK TONE METAL AND RIVETED INTO THE BACK OF THE CLOCK. THIS PLATE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF WEAR–SO I’M WONDERING IF IT WAS A REPLACEMENT? NOT MODIFIED TO ELECTRIC. THE CLOCK HAS A GLASS FACE WITH A BRASS OR BRONZE RING AROUND IT. GLASS IS IN REALLY PRETTY SHAPE. METAL RING FRAME IS SHOWING SOME DEGRADING. NEW ENGLAND CRAFTSMANSHIP RARE COLOR KEEPS TIME SIGNED. CLOCK FACE HAS ARABIC NUMERALS AND SAYS, “SETH THOMAS, 4-JEWELS”. THE HANDS ARE WORKING! THE BODY IS CLASSIC BANJO SHAPE AND ABOUT 17 INCHES TALL, NOT INCLUDING THE GOLDEN EAGLE FINIAL. THE FINIAL IS A GOLDEN EAGLE IN REMARKABLY GOOD SHAPE. GENERAL WEAR SIGNS FROM AGE, BUT STILL HAS A LOT OF IT’S BRIGHTNESS TO IT. IT MEASURES ABOUT 2 INCHES X 1 3/4 INCHES. THE CLOCK IS PAINTED GREEN ON THE FRONT, WITH A THINNER LIGHTER COATING, OF THE SAME GREEN, ON THE BACK. WHITE LAYER UNDERNEATH THE GREEN, THEN WOOD. I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY THE KIND OF WOOD USED. HAS AN INTACT TAB HOOK FOR HANGING ON WALL. IT IS ACTUALLY SCREWED IN AND VERY SECURE. THE CENTRAL BODY AND RECTANGULAR BOTTOM SECTION HAVE GOLD TRIM AROUND BEAUTIFUL PAINTED FLOWERS IN GREEN, PINK, WHITE, RED, CREAM. I BELEIVE THEM TO BE ROCK ROSES. GOLD PAINTED TRIM PEICES ATTACHED TO EACH SIDE (GREEN ON BACK). SOMEONE PUT A PIECE OF TRANSPARENT TAPE THROUGH IT AT ONE TIME TO KEEP IT IN PLACE. IT STATES, GREENVILLE, SETH THOMAS CLOCK CO. 1913, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, SAN FRANCISCO. MADE IN THE UNITED STATES USA. THERE IS THE NUMBER # 15, STAMPED INTO THE WOOD PIECE JOINING THE BODY TO THE BOTTOM. THE ROUND CLOCK, TOP OF THE CLOCK, HAS QUIRE A BIT OF FLAKING PAINT. IT’S CRAZED IN THE SAME WAY ON EACH SIDE OF IT. IT MAKES ME THINK THAT A TOOL WAS USED TO HOLD IT THERE. THIS IS HER ONLY FLAW. THE REST OF HER SHOWS REGULAR SIGNS OF WEAR FOR AN ANTIQUE PIECE. CORNERS, EDGES SHOW LIMITED WEAR, AND SOME NOT AT ALL. THE POINTED BASE IS COHESIVE WITH THE REST OF THE CLOCK, AS FAR AS WEAR AREAS GO. THIS IS PROBABLY THE MOST WELL KEPT PIECE I’VE EVER SEEN. AND, THIS COLOR IS VERY RARE. PLEASE SEE MY VIDEO FOR EXACTING DETAILS. I TIMED HER FOR A MINUTE SO YOU COULD SEE THE MINUTE HAND MOVE, THEN GAVE A TOUR OF THE BODY. FEEL FREE TO WRITE ME WITH QUESTIONS.
