History of Seth Thomas Adamantine Antique Mantel ClocksIn the 1860’s, French clocks in slate, onyx or marble cases became popular in the United States. These cases were expensive, so the American clock manufacturers produced similar looking cases made of iron or wood. These clocks have become known to collectors as “Black Mantel Clocks”, and were popular from 1880 to 1931.
Seth Thomas made clocks in marble cases for a short time, from 1887 to ca. 1895. They also made clocks in iron cases finished in black enamel, from 1892 to ca. 1895. Seth Thomas is well known for their “Adamantine” black mantel clocks, which were made starting in 1882. 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.
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.
Manufacture Dates of Seth Thomas Adamantine Antique Mantel ClocksThe movement provides a guide to the date of an Adamantine clock. At first, most Adamantine clocks used a modified shelf clock movement (called the “hip” movement because of its shape) with the escapement outside the back plate. Around 1900, the model 89 movement was introduced, having the escapement between the plates. The two types can be distinguished from the front of the clock by the position of the regulating square. The back escapement type (up to ca. 1901*) has the regulating square above the numeral “12”. The model 89 has the regulating square below the center of the dial.Manufacture Dates of Seth Thomas Adamantine Antique Mantel Clocks

These two types are evident in the illustrations above.Many Seth Thomas clocks from 1881 to 1918 have a date code stamped in ink on the case back or bottom. Usually, the year is done in reverse, followed by a letter A - L representing the month. For example, April 1897 would appear as 7981 D. Below are two examples:

Antique Mantel Clock w/ ORNATE GILDED FACE & Pillars & GILDED FEET & Handles
Up for auction here is an old antique mantel clock. The only maker's mark we could find is on the very ornate gilded face which simply reads "S" and "F" on either side of the 12:00 o'clock location. This is a beautiful "petite" style of mantel clock and only measures 17 inches across, 7-1/2 inches deep and 11 inches tall. The key and pendulum is also included here. The clock is key wind and winds "towards the center" on each side. The clock is still ticking as I am listing this, but we have not heard it chime. It looks like there is a little pin holding the hands in place and maybe that's why we are not hearing it chime... not sure. It may need some adjustment or repair... we are not sure as this is an estate sale find. It has beautiful ebonized wood with a lovely carved vine and leaf design. The columns on either side are a beautiful pale creamy marbleized color and the clock has decorative metal feet and side handles. You will see a bit of wear to the top of the wood case. Wish we knew more about this clock. The back of the clock has the sticker from the original jeweler's shop that originally sold it. It reads "M.L Cooveri, the Leading Jeweler & Optician , Vancouver, Wash. Repairing and Engraving." Beautiful old item well worth the very low starting bid!
Shipping price includes delivery confirmation and insurance. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding as this is an AS-IS, NO return auction! We do not know much about clocks and this one may need repair in order for it to work properly. We have described it to the best of our ability. Thanks for looking!
CLOCK UPDATE: We just heard it chime... it WORKS!!! Yay! Nice sound too!

SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE MANTEL/ SHELF CLOCK CASE PART
Antique Ingraham Clock Co GILA Gingerbread Calender Mantel Clock Wall Shelf
With your winning bid you will receive this clock in very good condition. Measurements are approximately 23" tall x 15" wide x 4 3/4" deep. This great old estate find clock has it's original patina and is as found condition. I am not a clock expert, but with some leveling and playing around I got the clock to run and ran it for about an hour. It ran fine other than losing about a minute. It gonged 4 times at 2:00. I think at the very least it may need cleaning and some adjustment. The only bad things I can find worth mentioning, and they're all shown in the pictures, is there is a mild horizontal sepatation in the wood back plate, the clock face has dark spots, and there's some mild fading to the gold coloring on the glass. As usual, low start price and no reserve, with your satisfaction guaranteed, or your money back. I've done my best to picture and describe everything, but if you have any additional questions, I will try to respond promptly. Very low start price and no reserve. Bid with confidence...you will not be disappointed. Whenever possible, I am glad to combine shipping if you win multiple items.
I will mail package within 2-3 days after payment has been received. I pack very carefully and ship via Parcel Post or US Priority. Insurance is an option and is recommended.
Thanks for looking........GOOD LUCK BIDDING!Tuesday, December 20, 2011
