Antiques : Clocks, Timepieces

 

Circa 1905, American Seth Thomas “Shasta” Style Adamantine Mantel Clock; Beautiful/Authentic/Excellent Condition. “Shasta style means the clock has a Serpentine curved top. Research indicates that these types of clock were made by Seth Thomas for the Larkin Soap Company. Coupons were saved from the purchase of their products in order to redeem them for one of these clocks. They were not sold to the public by Seth Thomas which makes this a very unique clock. It has a special bezel that holds the beveled glass that was made for this clock. The bezel would have to be special ordered on any of their other models.

This movement is an 8 day time and strike. It has a deep rich strike to count the hours and it strikes one time on the half hour on a bell.

The case is in excellent condition; all original with no paints or spray lacquers used. It still has great patina. There are a few places on the edges that are rough and a thin scratch on the top toward the back. The back of the case has the original paper (small piece missing from the left side). Paper has the directions for the clock and reads: Adamantine Clock Patented September, 1880. Seth Thomas Clock Co., makers of clocks and watches. It also has “ADAMANTINE” stamped in read across the directions. Paper also has the Seth Thomas Trade Mark (ST within a diamond shape surrounded by a circle). The paper dial is original and has discolored slightly with age.

Dimensions: 17-3/4” (from foot to foot); 7-1/8” (back foot to front foot); 12” high
