The dial is marked SETH THOMAS, and the brass movement bears the ST / U. A distinctive American antique timepiece with wonderful character and original-looking aged patina. Type: Mechanical carriage-style mantel / table clock. Estimated period: Early 20th century (exact production date unverified). Metal case with silver-tone finish. Decorative brass-tone front panel with embossed designs. Additional lower numbered subdial. Glass side panels displaying the mechanical movement. Folding metal carrying handle. Hinged rear access door. Brass mechanical movement marked ST / U. Mechanical Condition – Please Read Carefully. The clock has been tested and winds successfully. The mechanical movement starts running and the hands advance. However, the hour and minute hands make contact with each other during rotation, preventing further movement and causing the clock to stop. The clock therefore does not currently run continuously or keep time reliably. No attempt has been made to bend, adjust, remove, or repair the hands or movement, in order to preserve the clock in its existing condition. The clock will require adjustment and/or professional servicing before it can be used as a reliable timekeeper. No guarantees are made regarding its accuracy, power reserve, or other mechanical functions. Good antique cosmetic condition overall, with age-appropriate wear throughout. The metal case shows surface scratches, tarnish, patina, oxidation, discoloration, and small areas of finish wear. The brass-tone panels have developed a beautiful aged appearance. The dial displays visible discoloration, staining, and age-related marks. The rear door opens to reveal the mechanical movement. Please examine the photographs carefully for the exact cosmetic condition. An attractive collectible Seth Thomas clock for antique clock enthusiasts, horological collectors, or vintage interior décor. You will receive the exact clock shown in the photographs.
