ANTIQUE SETH THOMAS METAL SERIES KITCHEN ~ PARLOR CLOCK!Seth Thomas Metal Series kitchen or parlor clock with original finish..."Metal No. 6", circa 1905-10 with remnants of the original paper label on the inside of the case bottom. This is one in the series of 6 clocks Seth Thomas made using metal ornaments over the case front. All metal embellishments are in place. It is 8 day, striking hour and half hour on a Cathedral gong. Case is in fine condition with a good closing clasp in place as well as good door hinges. This clock was made to be an alarm clock and the alarm set is still on the hands arbor, however, the alarm mechanism is no longer with the clock. The paper on zinc dial pan leaves a gap at the top of the attachment area and although bearing the ST logo and Made in United States of America, it may not be original to this clock however, the dial pan fits perfectly to the wear and aging marks on the wood. Dial does show age yellowing and usage wear...nothing that is unexpected for it's age. Pendulum is correct. Great case design...reverse decorated glass decorated with a likeness of the pendulum is in good condition...no chips, cracks or hairlines but we do have general wear with some loss to the image. 8 day time and strike movement is marked with the Seth Thomas logo and the number designation that appears to be 5 & 7/8 and 1/2. After many years in storage with the estate collection wound, when the pendulum was hung the clock ran for only moments before stopping...possibly a matter of cleaning and lubrication as we do have general age and storage dust and dander noted throughout. Strike at the hour and half hour is fully functioning. Measures in at about 23" tall. As with all of our estate timepieces and clocks, we highly recommend a professional cleaning with final adjustments after shipment to you, for proper working accuracy. Ly - Seth Thomas, 296.
