As with all Seth Thomas wall clocks, you can count on generations of your family being able to enjoy this wonderful and well made Seth Thomas wall clock.
Clock making has been very competitive over the years, especially from French and German clock manufacturers. Seth Thomas, however, always responded to their new designs and materials, by coming out with his own creations, and usually a better product. He came out with adamantine which is a veneer that could be made in colors and even patterns that would replicate the look of wood, onyx, and even marble. Imagine the competitors reaction when they had more costly clocks while Seth Thomas literally duplicated their models at a much lower price.
Over the following decades, there were many trends set in clock making such as naming a certain clock model after an international city. Seth Thomas did this and even added his own flair by naming many clocks after American cities. He even named some after American presidents and universities. He introduced the first tambour clock in 1904 and so many more in the following years. There are so many Seth Thomas clocks that have been prized by collectors, and it continues to this day.
