Original Listing Description

SETH THOMAS LAFAYETTE – 1928 Today I have for offer is this not often seen Seth Thomas LAFAYETTE model that was produced in the year of around 1928. The style of this clock along with its timbre and decay of the bell metal gong counting the hours and half-hour will warm the room with its beauty and sound. This model has a short base making it perfect to fit anywhere in your house or apartment with a concave molded edge around the dial and step down accents at the 3 and 9 going from front to back. Inlaid accents below the dial and raised molding at each end give this clock a grand appearance for its compact size. The finish is 100% original and the Mahogany case has a few character marks on it as the pictures will show. This clock has a 5 inch silvered dial with raised bronze Arabic numbers that can be read from a distance complimented by signature Seth Thomas fancy bronze serpentine hour and minute hands. This clock features a rebuilt 8-day movement No. 125 that requires no pendulum and strikes once on the half-hour and actual strikes of the hour on a bell metal gong. This can be seen and heard on the video player that will be provided. Just click on the white play arrow in the middle of the video, adjust the volume and enjoy. A teeny tiny scratch as shown in picture 4 that is hardly noticeable but worth mentioning on the original convex beveled glass and the machined clasp brass bezel along with the back door opens and closes properly as they should. An original 2-sided key comes with the clock as well as a full model label on the bottom. Every aspect of this clock is fully functional and will give years of enjoyment to you and many of your generations to come. What I do to ensure you are buying a quality clock from me.
