Seth Thomas 4 Bell Sonora Chime Clock No. 1 Special Estate Find
SETH THOMAS 4 BELL SONORA CHIME CLOCK NO. 1 SPECIAL – ESTATE FIND. It is shown on page 148 of Tran Duy Lys Seth Thomas. Case dimensions are 15 inches wide by 13.5 inches high. The bezel fits well. The original porcelain dial has some. Issues (see picture 5). The winding arbor for the Sonora movement isn’t. I was able to wind it to try it out, and it does. The key is the correct size for winding and adjusting. The Adamantine finish is in generally in good condition. A couple of losses (pictures 7 and 8). Movement is signed No. The clock is in an as-found condition. The clock runs well, and the Sonora works. They are presently out of sync. This four bell Sonora Chime clocks may have larger bells than many of the Sonora Chime clocks that Seth Thomas made. The larger bells have a rich and deep tone. This clock should be fully serviced, there is no telling when it was done last. All descriptions are to the best of my ability. It is never my intent to mislead anyone. Please look carefully at the pictures to make sure you know what you are purchasing. The clock has normal wear and aging for a 110 year old clock. Expect to find dust, soot, scratches, dings, rub marks, dial paint losses, surface oxidation, alligatoring, etc. As With All Antique Clocks, You Will Need To Make Adjustments (Fine Tuning). The Clock Will Be Well Packed (Check My Feedback). International Buyers Please Note.
