If any questions contact by E bay page, . PLEASE VISIT MY OTHER AUCTIONS/. History of Seth Thomas Antique Mantel Clocks In the 1860s, French clocks in slate, onyx or marble cases became popular in the United States. These cases were expensive, so the American clock manufacturers produced similar looking cases made of iron or wood. These clocks have become known to collectors as Black Mantel Clocks, and were popular from 1880 to 1931. Seth Thomas made clocks in marble cases for a short time, from 1887 to ca. They also made clocks in iron cases finished in black enamel, from 1892 to ca. Seth Thomas is well known for their Adamantine black mantel clocks, which were made starting in 1882. Adamantine is a celluloid veneer, glued to the wood case. Adamantine veneer was made in black and white, and in colored patterns to clock as wood grain, onyx and marble. Adamantine veneer was developed by the Celluloid Manufacturing Company of New York City, and was covered by U. Patent number 232,037, dated September 7,1880. Many of them are over one hundred years old, and while well restored, the evidence of their age is apparent. Yet this is precisely where they hold their beauty and aura.

Seth Thomas Clock Company History Plymouth Hollow, Connecticut (After 1865) Thomaston, Connecticut Seth Thomas Seth Thomas was born in Wolcott, Connecticut in 1785, the fifth of seven children of Scottish immigrant, James Thomas, a cooper, and his wife Maria Ward. Connecticut, incidentally, was an important and expanding hub in the American clockmaking trade. Seth Thomas Childhood Home, 36 Peterson Ln photo above c. 1984 – link to c. 2005 photo He was born in this house and lived there until about 1810. Current Photo Current Map Seth had a natural ability for carpentry and he probably obtained his knowledge and interest in mill property and manufacturing from this. He had imited formal education and left school at an early age to become an apprentice carpenter and joiner to Daniel Tuttle, of Plymouth. Subsequently, he became a skilled woodworker and built houses and barns in the nearby towns around Farmingbury/Wolcott (incorporated 1796). In the early 1800s, Seth attempted to set up a clock-making industry in Wolcott. He made his first clock in his family’s house. The woods around the house were filled with mountain laurel trees; many Wolcott men worked cutting the trees and sawing them into thin slices, which, when seasoned, were used for the wooden wheels of the clocks. The women of the town spun flax (cotton) into cords and these were used to hold the clock weights. As a result, the town of Wolcott profited to some extent from the Thomas enterprise, the short time it was located in Wolcott. In 1807, Seth moved to Plymouth. There he joined Eli Terry and Silas Hoadley in a business of making clocks at a wholesale rate. Seth mainly worked on fitting the wheels and different clock parts together. From 1807 until 1810, they made 4000 clocks of the “hang-up” or “wag-on-the wall” type. These clocks did not have cases, but buyers who wanted cases for their clocks hired carpenters to build what they called “grandfather cases” for them. The land included a clock factory and was conveniently located near Eli Terry’s new shop where was the non-compete agreement? Thomas continued Clarks wooden movement tall clock production, and about 1817 began making the wooden movement shelf clock. These were cased in pillar and scroll cases until 1830, when the bronze looking glass and other styles became popular. In 1842, brass movements were introduced, and first cased in the popular O. Case (which was made until 1913). Wood movements were phased out in 1845. Seth’s first wife was Philinda Tuttle; they married in the early 1800s and had a daughter, Philinda. His second wife was Laura A. They had six children Seth, Martha, Amanda, Edward, Elizabeth, and Aaron. And Aaron went into the clock business with their father, subsequently enlarging the clock factory and developing it into a worldwide business. After Thomas death in 1859, the town of Plymouth CT was renamed “Thomaston” in his honor. At that time, Aaron became President and began to add new products. Huntington and Harvey Platts of Ithaca, New York and added three models to their line that year. The earliest of the clocks indicate only three patent dates on the dials, September 19, 1854, November 17, 1857 and January 31, 1860. The fourth and final patent of March 1, 1862 is carried on most of their calendar clocks manufactured until 1875 or 1876. On February 15, 1876 Randall T. A Thomas relative and workman in the factory, received a patent on an improved mechanism. This was put into production and utilized on all later perpetual calendar clocks until the last model was dropped in 1917. Movement Dept – Thomaston CT Regulator clocks were introduced in 1860. Spring driven clocks were introduced ca. Perpetual calendar clocks were made from ca. Some of the most popular later types include walnut kitchen clocks, made from 18841909; marble clocks, 1887ca. 1895; black (Adamantine finish) wood mantel clocks, ca. 18851917; black enameled iron cased clocks, 1892ca. 1895; oak kitchen clocks, 1890ca. 1915; tambour clocks, introduced in 1904; chime clocks, introduced in 1909; and electric A/C clocks, introduced in 1928. The Seth Thomas Clock Company was very prosperous into the 20th Century and was considered the Tiffanys of Connecticut clock manufacture, even by their competitors. Between 1865 and 1879 they operated a subsidiary firm known as Seth Thomas’ Sons & Company that manufactured a higher-grade 15-day mantel clock movement and during that period were major supporters of a New York sales outlet known as the American Clock Company. Many Seth Thomas clocks from 1881 to 1918 have a date code stamped in ink on the case back or bottom. Usually, the year is done in reverse, followed by a letter AL representing the month. For example, April 1897 would appear as 7981 D. On January 1, 1931, the firm became a subsidiary of General Time Instruments Corporation and soon passed from family control. In 1955, a flood badly damaged the Seth Thomas factory. They phased out movement manufacturing and began importing many movements from Germany. Hermle, in the Black forest of Germany, has made many movements for Seth Thomas clocks. It was reported in 1988 that the firm was all but dissolved. In June 2001 General Time announced that it was closing its entire operation. The Colibri Group acquired Seth Thomas. In January, 2009, The Colibri Group unexpectedly shut its doors, laying off its 280 employees and preparing to sell all remaining jewelry, gold and silver to pay creditors. The following message appeared on the Colibri website: February 16, 2009: The Colibri Group is currently in receivership and is not accepting any orders at this time.

Seth Thomas Childhood Home, 36 Peterson Ln photo above c. 1984 – link to c. 2005 photo He was born in this house and lived there until about 1810. Current Photo Current Map Seth had a natural ability for carpentry and he probably obtained his knowledge and interest in mill property and manufacturing from this. He had imited formal education and left school at an early age to become an apprentice carpenter and joiner to Daniel Tuttle, of Plymouth. Subsequently, he became a skilled woodworker and built houses and barns in the nearby towns around Farmingbury/Wolcott (incorporated 1796). In the early 1800s, Seth attempted to set up a clock-making industry in Wolcott. He made his first clock in his family’s house. The woods around the house were filled with mountain laurel trees; many Wolcott men worked cutting the trees and sawing them into thin slices, which, when seasoned, were used for the wooden wheels of the clocks. The women of the town spun flax (cotton) into cords and these were used to hold the clock weights. As a result, the town of Wolcott profited to some extent from the Thomas enterprise, the short time it was located in Wolcott. In 1807, Seth moved to Plymouth. There he joined Eli Terry and Silas Hoadley in a business of making clocks at a wholesale rate. Seth mainly worked on fitting the wheels and different clock parts together. From 1807 until 1810, they made 4000 clocks of the “hang-up” or “wag-on-the wall” type. These clocks did not have cases, but buyers who wanted cases for their clocks hired carpenters to build what they called “grandfather cases” for them. The land included a clock factory and was conveniently located near Eli Terry’s new shop where was the non-compete agreement? Thomas continued Clarks wooden movement tall clock production, and about 1817 began making the wooden movement shelf clock. These were cased in pillar and scroll cases until 1830, when the bronze looking glass and other styles became popular. In 1842, brass movements were introduced, and first cased in the popular O. Case (which was made until 1913). Wood movements were phased out in 1845. Seth’s first wife was Philinda Tuttle; they married in the early 1800s and had a daughter, Philinda. His second wife was Laura A. They had six children Seth, Martha, Amanda, Edward, Elizabeth, and Aaron. And Aaron went into the clock business with their father, subsequently enlarging the clock factory and developing it into a worldwide business. After Thomas death in 1859, the town of Plymouth CT was renamed “Thomaston” in his honor. At that time, Aaron became President and began to add new products.

The fourth and final patent of March 1, 1862 is carried on most of their calendar clocks manufactured until 1875 or 1876. On February 15, 1876 Randall T. A Thomas relative and workman in the factory, received a patent on an improved mechanism.

Between 1865 and 1879 they operated a subsidiary firm known as Seth Thomas’ Sons & Company that manufactured a higher-grade 15-day mantel clock movement and during that period were major supporters of a New York sales outlet known as the American Clock Company.
