Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 2”, ca. 1914.  A 14-inch case with an undamaged adamantine finish housing a 4-bell chime.  The signed silvered dial shows modest wear, sitting behind a convex beveled glass.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running but the chime movement is not; the chime/silent switch is missing, and it will need repair/replacement. The strike is also silent, I assume because the chime is not working.  This is an uncommon bell-chime clock and would likely retail around $400 if working.  $200-$300.
