Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 00”, ca. 1914.  A 10-inch-tall by 11-inch-wide adamantine case in good condition – adamantine may not be mahogany, but it looks as good today as it did when first sold.  The silvered dial is its biggest weakness, with wear and soiling/oxidation apparent.  The spandrels are applied in some way.  The 8-day movement is running and striking and playing Westminster chimes on four bells with a beautiful tone.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Sonora chimes are the best in the world.  You can silence the chimes if you like with a lever on the right (why would you?).  AAC sold this model in 2023 for $250.  $200-$400.
