Vintage Seth Thomas Sonora 4 Bell Chime Clock Adamantine Case Runs Chime Clock #5

Note: All items in our store include NO sales tax to our UScustomers!

Here is an opportunity to own a Seth Thomas Sonora Chime #5 Bell Clock that is in very nice condition. Would make a great gift or keep it for yourself!

Do not have real pics of this clock or dimensions as sent it out to our Clock Doc before doing so. So, these pics are similar representations of this clock that I found online.

Very unique one here. Appears to be a Sonora Chime No. 5. The clock dates to the mid 1910s period.

There is nothing like the sound of a bell versus a rod strike/chime clock. Once you have one, you will have a hard time every finding a rod or gong clock whose sound you like better. Few of these clocks were made. This clock was probably made in the early 1920\'s period. Not sure what model this is yet. You be the judge at to the clock\'s age and the model number before acquiring.

Nice adamantine (an early composite material) case on this clock. No cracks, repairs or splits to the case. The finish to the case does show some finish wear from time. Isee nothing on the inside of the case or the outside to show that it was ever refinished at any time.

The 8 day brass clock and chime movements appear to be in good condition. The movements were very dirty and were tanked, cleaned and serviced by Clock Doc. All three wind springs feel sound when keyed. So, this clock is in running, striking and chiming condition.There is a pendulum bob with this clock. The chimes unit is a number 90D. The time/strike unit is a number 89A. The brass plates of the time and chimes\' units show some loss of finish from oiling and time over the years. Each of the bells, is about 2.75\" in diameter, and all sound great when the clock strikes and chimes. The hour strike bell is slightly larger. I did find similar cases online that also had this unique \"sounding box\" over the bells to resonate the sound better one would guess. None of the bells have any cracks or other damage that would impede their sound.The clock was made to chime every 15 minutes and then chimes, and strikes the number of hours on the hour. The chimes unit is to the Westminster chime sound. Currently striking and chiming as expected. The brass plate is in place to lift the strike hammers when you wish to silence the clock. The nest of bells look good, other than needing a good cleaning and are securely attached to the case.

The face of the clock does show some moderate wear to the silver colored finish. Appears to be made of tin and has black colored numbers. Beautiful gold colored trim ring around the face. The hands match and look appropriate to the clock. The wood door is in place, and the beveled glass is there as well. No cracks or blistering to the glass. The rear door of the clock is still in place as is the latch that holds it in place. Also has a nice paper label inside the back door.

The clock will come with a winding key. The clock stands 14\" tall, by 11.25\" across, by 7.5\" wide.The clock face is 4.75\" across.This was definitely a quality clock made around 100 years ago.

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.Only look at the pics thru a PC or laptop, as the smart phone and IPadsystem does not provide you with the ability to zoom in within the pics.

Makesure that this clock meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it. The item can be returned, there is a 10% restocking fee 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.

Don\'t be shy to make an offer, we are always open to reasonable suggestions! Don\'t dally in making a decision to buy as I do not expect this clock model to be available for very long. First time I have had one of these in my possession in about 7 years and we buy and sell a lot of clocks!
