This is one of my favorite type clocks being a Navy veteran and Seth Thomas(w Ansonia) being one of my favorite clock makers. It is from and very good collection and I have more to list but we will start with this and another striker. Strike works and sounds wonderful those that might not be familiar with Navy watches cycle every 4 hours w 1-8 strikes on every half hour. These are nice and I’m not going to sell all of them because in my travels they always go high and I’ve been outbid a lot and a couple are staying in my gallery. I did well to get these 10 together. Everything goes insured just in case and my items are returnable. Please respect that and it does take a bit of time, I’ve been dealing clocks for over 30 years now, but boxes do occasionally get mishandled. Preparing/checking takes time if you want start to tracking package the afternoon you order maybe think about it. Thanks for taking a look!!

I TAKE GREAT CARE TO INSURE THAT EACH DISTINCTIVE CLOCK I OFFER IS SUPERB IN ALL RESPECTS. AND TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS. ENJOY THE LISTING – IF YOU NEED OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE BE IN TOUCH WITH ME, STEVE. RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS. THE EIGHT DAY HIGHEST GRADE FINE ROUND SETH THOMAS EARLY 48R MOVEMENT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DISASSEMBLED, INSPECTED AND CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS. ALL WORN PIVOT BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. AND BOTH THE TIME AND STRIKE MAINSPRINGS WERE UNLOADED, INSPECTED, SERVICED, LUBRICATED AND RELOADED. MAINSPRINGS ARE A CRITICAL ENERGY LINK TO ASSURE EXTENDED AND RELIABLE LONG TERM PERFORMANCE. SUPERSIZE PHOTO 9 SHOWS SOME OF THE STEPS IN THE MOVEMENT RESTORATION PROCESS. THE LOWER INSET PHOTO PICTURES THE MOVEMENT AFTER DISASSEMBLY, ULTRASONIC CLEANING, PIVOT POLISHING, BUSHING AND ARBOR WORK, OTHER WORK OPERATIONS, AND READY FOR REASSAMBLY, LUBRICATION, TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS. THE UPPER PHOTO SHOWS THE COMPLETED MOVEMENT – IN THIS CASE A FRONT VIEW AND A REAR VIEW OF THE FULLY RESTORED MOVEMENT. ALL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MOVEMENT WERE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED, IF NECESSARY, READYING THE MOVEMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE. THE MOVEMENT WAS THEN PROPERLY REASSEMBLED, LUBRICATED, TESTED AND ADJUSTED WITH BOTH ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION. WHEN PROPERLY RESTORED, THE WIDE SWEEP AND ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF THE PENDULUM BEAT ON THE RESTORED MOVEMENT WILL BE VERY HEALTHY. IN FACT, THE MEASURED AMPLITUDE WIDTH IS A FULL 4 INCHES AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PENDULUM BOB AT LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT RIGHT SWING. THIS FAR EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM SPEC OF 2 ½ INCHES!!! THE ROBUST AMPLITUDE WIDTH INDICATES THE MOVEMENT IS IN THE HIGHEST STATE OF GOOD HEALTH, WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION, NO DRAG, AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY FROM THE MAINSPRINGS. AS INFORMATION, BEWARE IF A FINE ROUND 48R MOVEMENT HAS AN ANEMIC PENDULUM BEAT SWING BECAUSE IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH AND THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE SERVICE WORK. A FINAL PORTION OF THE SERVICE PROCESS IS ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL TESTING OF THE MOVEMENT FOR PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, RATE, RELIABILITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS – I HAVE SOME RESTORATION AND TESTING ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE PHOTOS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. NOTICE IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. THE PICTURE SHOWS ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE PENDULUM BEAT, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO ERROR, MEANING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SWINGS OF THE PENDULUM HAVE THE SAME AMPLITUDE AND DURATION CHARACTERISTICS. THIS RESTORED #48R MOVEMENT EASILY ACHIEVED AND HELD ZERO ERROR. ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT, IS THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ITSELF, MEASURED IN BEATS PER HOUR – PROPER BEAT RATE INSURES THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE TIME KEEPING, AND IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE PREVIOUS ADJUSTMENT. BECAUSE THE STRATFORD HAS A LONG PENDULUM LENGTH, IT’S BEAT IS SLOWER, AND PRODUCES A VERY PLEASING TIC TOC SOUND IN ITS DISPLAY AREA, COMPARED WITH A FASTER BEAT AND MORE RAPID TIC TOC SOUND IN SMALLER MANTLE OR SHELF PENDULUM CLOCKS. IN ADDITION, THE LONGER PENDULUM PRODUCES GREATER TIME KEEPING ACCURACY THAN OTHER CLOCKS. YOU WILL ENJOY HAVING THE STRATFORD AS PART OF YOUR HOME OR OFFICE DECOR! THE HALF HOUR IS SOUNDED ON A CATHEDRAL BELL SPIRAL GONG – THE SOUND IS MELLOW AND RESONANT, WITH A LOVELY LINGERING DECAY OF THE NOTE; THE HOUR COUNT FOLLOWS, WITH EACH HOUR ANNOUNCED AS A STRIKE ON THE CATHEDRAL BELL GONG.

MY SINCERE HOPE IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOUND FILES. THREE SOUND FILES OF THE SETH STRATFORD – 1905 IN OPERATION ARE AVAILABLE.

ENJOY THE LISTING – IF YOU NEED OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, PLEASE BE IN TOUCH WIT ME, STEVE. RESTORATION AND TECHNICAL DETAILS. THE EIGHT DAY HIGHEST GRADE FINE ROUND SETH THOMAS EARLY 48R MOVEMENT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DISASSEMBLED, INSPECTED AND CLEANED WITH ULTRASONICS. ALL WORN PIVOT BUSHINGS WERE REPLACED. AND BOTH THE TIME AND STRIKE MAINSPRINGS WERE UNLOADED, INSPECTED, SERVICED, LUBRICATED AND RELOADED. MAINSPRINGS ARE A CRITICAL ENERGY LINK TO ASSURE EXTENDED AND RELIABLE LONG TERM PERFORMANCE. SUPERSIZE PHOTO 9 SHOWS SOME OF THE STEPS IN THE MOVEMENT RESTORATION PROCESS. THE LOWER INSET PHOTO PICTURES THE MOVEMENT AFTER DISASSEMBLY, ULTRASONIC CLEANING, PIVOT POLISHING, BUSHING AND ARBOR WORK, OTHER WORK OPERATIONS, AND READY FOR REASSAMBLY, LUBRICATION, TESTING AND ADJUSTMENTS. THE UPPER PHOTO SHOWS THE COMPLETED MOVEMENT – IN THIS CASE A FRONT VIEW AND A REAR VIEW OF THE FULLY RESTORED MOVEMENT. ALL OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MOVEMENT WERE INSPECTED AND CORRECTED, IF NECESSARY, READYING THE MOVEMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS OF SERVICE. THE MOVEMENT WAS THEN PROPERLY REASSEMBLED, LUBRICATED, TESTED AND ADJUSTED WITH BOTH ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION. WHEN PROPERLY RESTORED, THE WIDE SWEEP AND ARC AMPLITUDE WIDTH OF THE PENDULUM BEAT ON THE RESTORED MOVEMENT WILL BE VERY HEALTHY. IN FACT, THE MEASURED AMPLITUDE WIDTH IS A FULL 4 INCHES AS MEASURED FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PENDULUM BOB AT LEFT SWING TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOB AT RIGHT SWING. THIS FAR EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM SPEC OF 2 ½ INCHES!!! THE ROBUST AMPLITUDE WIDTH INDICATES THE MOVEMENT IS IN THE HIGHEST STATE OF GOOD HEALTH, WITH VIRTUALLY NO FRICTION, NO DRAG, AND PLENTY OF RESERVE ENERGY FROM THE MAINSPRINGS. AS INFORMATION, BEWARE IF A FINE ROUND 48R MOVEMENT HAS AN ANEMIC PENDULUM BEAT SWING BECAUSE IT IS A TALE-TALE INDICATOR OF POOR MOVEMENT HEALTH AND THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE SERVICE WORK. A FINAL PORTION OF THE SERVICE PROCESS IS ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL TESTING OF THE MOVEMENT FOR PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, RATE, RELIABILITY AND OTHER FUNCTIONS – I HAVE SOME RESTORATION AND TESTING ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE PHOTOS, SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK. NOTICE IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 11. THE PICTURE SHOWS ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT OF THE PENDULUM BEAT, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO ERROR, MEANING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SWINGS OF THE PENDULUM HAVE THE SAME AMPLITUDE AND DURATION CHARACTERISTICS. THIS RESTORED #48R MOVEMENT EASILY ACHIEVED AND HELD ZERO ERROR. ANOTHER ADJUSTMENT, IS THE PENDULUM BEAT RATE ITSELF, MEASURED IN BEATS PER HOUR – PROPER BEAT RATE INSURES THE ABILITY TO REGULATE THE TIME KEEPING, AND IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE PREVIOUS ADJUSTMENT. BECAUSE THE STRATFORD HAS A LONG PENDULUM LENGTH, IT’S BEAT IS SLOWER, AND PRODUCES A VERY PLEASING TIC TOC SOUND IN ITS DISPLAY AREA, COMPARED WITH A FASTER BEAT AND MORE RAPID TIC TOC SOUND IN SMALLER MANTLE OR SHELF PENDULUM CLOCKS. IN ADDITION, THE LONGER PENDULUM PRODUCES GREATER TIME KEEPING ACCURACY THAN OTHER CLOCKS. YOU WILL ENJOY HAVING THE STRATFORD AS PART OF YOUR HOME OR OFFICE DECOR! THE HALF HOUR IS SOUNDED ON A CATHEDRAL BELL SPIRAL GONG – THE SOUND IS MELLOW AND RESONANT, WITH A LOVELY LINGERING DECAY OF THE NOTE; THE HOUR COUNT FOLLOWS, WITH EACH HOUR ANNOUNCED AS A STRIKE ON THE CATHEDRAL BELL GONG. PLEASE REMEMBER TO HEAR THE STRATFORD VIA THE ATTACHED SOUND FILES. THE NOTES STRUCK FROM THIS PARTICULAR CATHEDRAL GONG HAVE A WONDERFUL AND LINGERING DECAY. LISTEN AND YOU WILL HEAR WHAT I MEAN. THIS IS A FULL SIZE GOTHIC CATHEDRAL CABINET STYLE MANTLE CLOCK – AN IDEAL SIZE – SUITABLE FOR MANTLE, TABLE, SHELF OR WALL BRACKET DISPLAY – PERFECT FOR A SPECIAL GIFT, FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE, OR AS AN ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION. MEASUREMENTS ARE 9 ½” W X 15″ H X 6 ½ D. ALL OF MY DISTINCTIVECLOCKS SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE CLOCKS ARE FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE. MY SINCERE HOPE IS TO EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY WAY. INFORMATION ABOUT THE SOUND FILES. THREE SOUND FILES OF THE SETH STRATFORD – 1905 IN OPERATION ARE AVAILABLE. PENDULUM BEAT-ESCAPEMENT/VERGE/CRUTCH AND TIME GEAR TRAIN OPERATION SOUNDS OF THE #48R MOVEMENT – LISTEN FOR CLEAN AND EVEN SOUND, REGULARITY, AND THE ABSENCE OF ODD NOISES.
