This clock probably started out in a commercial/industrial environment probably as a master clock or control center as the sophisticated lock on the door is unusual. After it became obsolete it was probably converted to its current configuration. It was in rough shape and looked like it had been stored in a barn for many years, but I bought anyway it because besides the calendar movement and dial it was complete and undamaged. It has been sitting around my shop for many years and since I retired recently, I finally had the time and impetus to restore it. The case looks to be American Chestnut and is 7/8 thick. The movement is an extended run Seth Thomas 86G with minimal wear on it and it runs without problems. The springs were replaced and the movement was cleaned and lubricated. The dial seems to be original to the unit, and the door glass looks original to the case. It measures 48″ x 21″ x 8 and weighs close to 65 pounds. I was never able to find a replacement calendar movement and dial.

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. 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.
