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.

This clock is a cathedral style with Sonora 4 bells chimes. It is a larger clock 11.5×7.5×14. The finish is the patented celluloid in a red tone with graining on 3 sides and top. The finish is still beautiful and over 100 years old. It plays the famous Sonora 4 bell Westminster chimes on the quarter, half, 3/4 and full hour. The clock face is 5″ diameter the silver finish is average, the brass bezel is 5.5″ and the beveled glass is 5.5 in not scratched. The clock keeps good time and strong tic toc. The chimes will need a cleaning. I removed the chime for lubing and when setting tipped play continuously but when installed in the clock level will stop occasionally. I have the brass ST key and the instructions are on the back cover. I will be listing all of my old collection of vintage/antique clocks including my Hamilton chime clock 340-020 in last photo. I will provide more photos/details.
