The Sonora chime line of Seth Thomas clocks are some of the most complex and beautiful sounding clocks the company ever produced. The time keeping mechanism has a few lifter arms that tell the chiming mechanism when to activate the quarter chimes and the hour strike. When working properly, they sound incredible. Offered here is a Seth Thomas Sonora chime mantle clock. I did a lot of research, and the closest I could narrow down the manufacturing date is 1914 – 1921. As I said, I know nothing about clocks, but similar images elsewhere on the web say that S. Eth Thomas clocks with this particular inlaid design in a beehive case are often referred to as Model 64 or 264. Antiqueclockspriceguide says a clock identical to the one offered here (right down to the chime movement model and rods) is Model 64-A. I don’t know the correct model number – just providing you with the info I found. When working, this clock plays a chime melody on 4 steel rods. Late in their Sonora production, Seth Thomas changed over from bells to rods to compete with less expensive imports. This clock still has the sturdy separate chime movement Model No. 119 manufactured by Mayland. This clock has winding at 3 o’clock. When I found this clock, I opened the back and discovered a bubble wrapped bag with a bunch of bits and pieces that the former owner clearly wanted to keep with the clock. I’ve identified some of those pieces as the pendulum and the key. Sections of broken spring from the time keeping mechanism. And while all 4 chime rods are present, two have been detached from the block. I don’t know if there is anything else wrong with the innards other than that. As for the case, it is mahogany wood with satinwood inlay. The finish has extensive alligatoring, but there are only a few very shallow surface scratches. Measures about 9 from side to side. If you find your joy in rescuing and restoring antique clocks, I hope you’ve just found your next Labor of Love in this piece. But please be aware that with this clock’s issues, it may not be reparable because spare parts are very hard to come by, and you might only be able to use it for its parts. This is a weighty piece of history! That way, you can select the carrier that is cheapest or fastest for you, depending on your priorities. Please examine the photos and description carefully, and ask questions if you are unsure.

This antique Seth Thomas “Metal Series” #4 oak parlor clock from 1906-7 is a beautiful collectible piece with a Victorian style. The clock features a mechanical movement powered by a spring, with a brown wood and metal construction. With its 8-day timekeeping and original design, this mantle clock is a unique and functional addition to any home decor, especially for those who appreciate antique pieces from the early 1900s. The pendulum is not attached and there is a key for the clock. There is some veneer issues as seen in pictures and a piece is broken off but included. It has been keeping time and chiming but not sure if it’s working properly when completely assembled. It is old and needs some attention.

Antique Seth Thomas Adamantine 6. Pillar Mantle Clock with Lions Head Handles. 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 as well as in colored patterns such as wood grain, onyx, and marble. Case is in fair condition for its age. This was something my father inherited from my grandmother, who inherited it from her mother. I do not have the key and I have no idea whether or not it works. It has always just been sitting around for display. Please examine photos carefully to assess condition and wear — photos are part of the description. Thank you for looking!
