Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 7” ca. 1915.  This Sonora chime strikes on four bells and, as you would expect, sounds great.  Westminster chimes on the quarter hours and counts the hours on all four bells on the hour. The adamantine case is 13.25 inches tall and 11 inches wide, with no chips or scrapes.  The silvered convex dial shows some wear and sits behind a convex beveled glass.  The hands are correct, the signed movement is running and chiming as expected. You can silence the chimes with a slider bar on the right.  This model sells on eBay for around $250.  $200-$300.
