This is one of Seth Thomas’s Sonora chime clocks with the adamantine case, and 8 day movement. Cosmetically it’s very good with a some blackened corner dings and maybe a scuff or two, but nothing to point out specifically. Mechanically the clock is mostly untested. Both movements were wound and it was allowed to run while it was being listed. It chimes when the hands were cycled. This is a rare clock and not a run of the mill Sonora. It’s priced to sell so don’t miss it!
