Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 00”, ca. 1914. A 10-inch-tall
by 11-inch-wide adamantine case in good condition (there are some dust accumulations on the front that I didn’t get off). The
silvered dial is its biggest weakness, with wear and soiling/oxidation apparent. The spandrels are decals. The 8-day movement
is running and striking and playing Westminster chimes on four bells with a beautiful tone. I’ve said it before and I’ll say
it again, Sonora chimes are the best in the world. You can silence the chimes if you like with a lever on the right (why would
you?). An instruction label on the inside back. I have not seen this model before. Schmitt Horan sold a very similar
example in 2021 for $350. $250-$400.
