Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 1 Special”, ca. 1911.  A mahogany adamantine finish on a 13.25-inch tall by 15-inch wide cabinet case with an ivory dial.  It plays Westminster chimes on the quarter hours on “four patented resonated bells”.  And boy, it sounds great.  The dial is signed and has an unfortunately noticeable hairline; the case is practically flawless.  There is a flat replacement glass in the bezel, it should be convex.  There is a slide switch just above the ‘6’ on the dial that allows you to turn off the chimes.  The movement is signed and running, striking on schedule.  This model sells regularly on eBay for around $250.  $200-$300.
