eBay Seth Thomas Sonora Chime 4 Bell Adamantine Mantle Clock Seth Thomas Sonora Chime 4 Bell Adamantine Mantle Clock Description This clock was made by The Seth Thomas Clock Company of Thomaston, Connecticut. This is a beautiful brownish red Adamantine that is in good condition. Seth Thomas bought the rights to use Adamantine in 1881. It is made of a celluloid veneer that is glued onto the wood. Perfect porcelain 4.5" dial that has fancy Arabic numerals in black. The dial has Seth Thomas, Slow/Fast adjuster, Sonora Chime, and a lever (to silent the chimes), with Seth Thomas spade hands. Cute little brass ball feet, brass bezel, and the Seth Thomas pendulum that has a boy on a fence. There are 2 movements inside this clock. The first one is for the 8 day time and strike #89, every half hour it dings on 4 bells and on the hour counts out the hour. The second movement is for the Sonora chimes, #90. Seth Thomas bought the rights to use Sonora chimes in his clocks in 1912 from the Sonora Chime Company. After "tinkering" so they would fit in clocks he began to use them. Inside is a wooden box that holds the 4 bells and acts as a sounding box for the bells. There are 5 hammers, 4 are for the Westminster chimes on the quarter hour and the 5th hammer strikes the hour. Both movements have been completely cleaned and overhauled and the clock is being sold in guaranteed running condition. Please see video below images for demonstration of the chime sound.
