Adamantine veneer was developed by the Celluloid Manufacturing Company of New York City, and was covered by U.S. Patent number 232,037, dated September 7, 1880.
Seth Thomas Clock Company purchased the right to use the Adamantine veneer in 1881.
Seth Thomas is well known for their “Adamantine” black mantel clocks, which were made starting in 1882 until 1917.
Adamantine is a celluloid veneer, glued to the wood case. Adamantine veneer was made in black and white, and in colored patterns such as wood grain, onyx and marble.
It chimes on each half hour and counts the current number of hours at the top of each hour on a coiled gong. It has an Eight day movement, which means you just wind it once a week. The case is approx. 8.5 inches long 11 inches tall by wide by 5.5 inches deep. This clock case and movement is in great condition. The movement was recently professionally cleaned (ultra-sonically) and oiled (a $150 value unto its self).
The key and pendulum are included.
The back is a replacement back. Hurry and get it before it’s somebody else gets this bargain first.
