Another item from Country Artifacts, Great Northern Liquidation, Springfield, Vermont. 124 chime movement appears to have 5 notes, likely the Westminster tune, but this is not verified. The movement tick tocks and appears to want to run. It is assumed that it will need servicing and adjustment to work properly. We have not tried to maintain it in any way. The clock includes the hands (one detached), pendulum, and key. The glass in front is in good condition, as is the face and case. Please see the pictures for details. 20-1/2″ x 6″ x 9-1/2 high overall. Unpacked weight & size: 7.6, 20.5x6x9.5. Packed weight & size: 12, 24x10x12. Package Notes & Ref: 5E77, 21#. Contiguous 48 United States. We are not responsible for the installation, training in the use of, or operation of any item we sell. We appreciate your business.

Classic Plymouth tambour mantel clock by Seth Thomas, featuring a timeless arched case in a rich, warm wood tone. The proportions are spot-on, with a beautifully balanced silhouette and a clean, legible dial accented by ornate hands and brass bezel. This is one of those pieces that just works anywhere-traditional, transitional, or even mixed into more modern interiors for contrast. This is an 8-day key-wind movement and includes both key and pendulum. The clock is currently running and keeping time, and a video is included showing it in operation. Interior retains original paper label with instructions, adding to its authenticity. Light, honest age-related wear to the case as expected, but overall presents very well. A solid, dependable example with great presence and functionality.

The mantle clock has a 17 1/2 inch base and is a two tone wood. The clock keeps time and chimes once at the half hour and multiple times depending on what time it is. Two chimes for 2 o’clock, seven chimes for 7 o’clock etc.. The clock is in beautiful condition. I tried to show one small scratch on the glass which ends up on center of the hands, the electrical cord has been replaced with a new one and the clock works great.
