Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 64” ca. 1914.  This is a 5-bell Sonora chime clock that strikes Westminster chimes on the quarter hours on four bells and counts the hours by striking all four bells at once.  The fifth bell serves as a resonator in this model.  The round gothic case is 14 inches tall with blond wood inlays (shaded marqueterie) on the front; it is in good condition all around with no dents or scratches.  A six-inch silvered dial with even wear sits behind a beveled convex glass.  It is running and striking as required, and of course, like all Sonora bell chimes, sounds fabulous. Get one and see, you won’t be sorry.  And if you are, I’ll take it back!  A similar model lacking the marqueterie sold in January for $629.  $400-$600.
