This clock was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Company and was cataloged in 1900. It is called the “Hotel.” In today’s marketplace, it is a very difficult model to find. As a result, we have seen very few of these clocks for sale.

This example stands 18 inches tall, 14 inches wide and just under 7 inches deep. The case is constructed in mahogany and retains an original surface. This surface is excellent. ( I should also mention that this model was also offered in oak and walnut as well. This is the first mahogany example that I have seen. The five other models have been cased in oak.) The sides of this case feature carved panels that are inset and trimmed with a molding. The panels are quite decorative and feature a very nice floral pattern. A bust of a male figure is centered in this panels. The front door of the clock is decorated with carved quarter fans that frame the fitted glass opening to the dial. A gilt trim ring is attached to the interior of the door. The door opens to a painted 8 inch dial. The dial pan retains it’s original painted surface. It is in very good condition. The hours are indicated with Roman numerals. This dial also features a subsidiary seconds dial and the Maker’s trademark. The spring driven eight day, time and strike movement is constructed in brass. The front plate of the movement is die-stamped by the Maker. It features a Geneva Stop winding mechanism and a seconds hand. This movement is designed to run eight days on a full wind and to strike each hour on the hour on a wire gong. This wire gong is advertised as a Cathedral Bell. It sounds wonderful. The bell stand is die stamped with a patent date. The pendulum bob is brass. The rod is made of wood. This example is in excellent overall condition and is ready to enjoy.

Please note. The photos of this clock were taken before the movement was overhauled.
