Item Description
Nice Vintage Seth Thomas Railroad or Ships Wall Clock (Time Only) for your buying consideration. Would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep it for yourself!
Nice looking wall clock here. Made by the Seth Thomas Company in the USA. This is not the smaller 4" case model. This is the larger 7-5/8"case model. Would guess from design that the clock was made prior to WWII.The clock is most likely a 16 day mechanical brass movement with the two spring winds.The clock is most likely a 16 day mechanical brass movement with the two spring winds. No strike or chime here with this clock.
Nice black colored composite case here. The numbering and minute marking are done in black on the antique white background face. The hands match and look appropriate to the clock. The seconds hand is also in place and moves as expected. The slow/fast adjustment lever is in place on the face of the clock, and seems to work as well. No grommets in place around the wind holes on the face.
The black colored case is all there. No cracks or repairs to the case. Does show some minor lacquer loss to the case, mostly on the bezel and some discoloration on the sides of the case. The case has a gold composite bezel that is securely attached to it by a hinge. The glass is intact, no cracks or blistering to the glass. The knob to lock down the non-hinge side of the bezel is still with the clock.
The clock has most likely a 16 day mechanical brass movement. No maker markings on the back plate of the movement. Did not look at the front plate. The wind springs feels sound when keyed. The clock will come with a vintage wind key.So, the clock is being sold in running condition.
The clock is mounted on a beautiful mahogany wood plaque. Nice emblem shape to the wood plaque. A hanger ring is in place on the back of the plaque.
The Seth Thomas Double Spring Railroad or Ships Wall Clock is 7-5/8" across by the front bezel, by 3-3/8" wide. The clock face is 5" across.
The wood plaque is 14-3/8" across by 17.5" long, by 1" wide. Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
The pictures provided both complement andsupplement the listing description, so please look at them very closely aswell. With old items, there is no way one can capture all the littleimperfections in words, so the two media are meant to be the full description.
As can be expectedwhen dealing with a vintage clock, some adjustments may be needed aftershipping to get the clock re-running correctly again as they can be verydelicate. If you have not had experience with old mechanical clocksbefore, I would suggest you steer clear. One really needs to have thepatience, and skill to work with these great works of art. They are notour modern plug in and go, or change the battery clocks. Please ask anyquestions relating to this matter, before you decide to purchase it.
Makesure that this clock meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it. The item can be returned, there is a 15% fee of the Item Cost, plus 115% of both Shipping Costs to do so. So again, ask all questions you have, comesee in person or send a friend to see the clock on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it. Dont be shy, we are always open to reasonable suggestions!This clock is just waiting for the right collector out there to acquire and refurbish for their collection.
