Antique American Clocks January 2021
74. $1200
Seth Thomas “Sonora Chime Clock No. 264”, ca. 1914. Eight bells and nine hammers, playing
Whittington and Westminster chimes, or alternating the hours with both. A 14-inch mahogany case with blond wood inlay in front
and a silvered dial behind a convex, beveled glass; some wear to the dial. Running and chiming on cue. I cannot find that
Horton’s has sold an 8-bell ST clock in the last eight years. Schmitt’s sold one (not this model) in 2017 for $3600. There
are a couple of sales of ST 8-bells on LiveAuctioneers in 2018 for $2200 and $3000. These guys are not common. And of
course, it sounds great. $1200-$2400.
