Seth Thomas Clock Co. adamantine black mantel,ca. 1900.  I can’t find this model in Ly’s books on Seth Thomas clocks.  It is 12 inches tall and 17 inches wide. The finish is good with no significant nicks or scratches; the gold incising on the front is faded but the faux marbling on the side porticos is strong.  There are four proper, gilded cast metal feet and a flat glass in the bezel over a yellowed, signed paper dial with a gold centerpiece.  The hands have been replaced with ‘S and T’ hands.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking on a small cathedral gong.  There are remnants of an instruction label on the inside of the back door.  A nice example.  $35–$125.
