About the Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 6” Clock

Welcome to our collector’s reference page for the Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 6.” This timepiece, hailing from the renowned Seth Thomas Clock Company in Thomaston, Connecticut, was produced around 1913.

The clock features an eight-day spring brass movement with a four-bell Sonora Chime, designed to chime the Westminster Quarters. The Adamantine mantel clock is adorned with a simulated rosewood architectural case that exhibits a small chip at the back of the top. The original silvered dial shows some tarnish and wear, while the hands remain intact.

The clock’s case also includes an instruction label on the back panel. Despite minor imperfections such as a couple of small chips on the back edge, a chip on the front edge, and one on the back of the top, the overall condition is commendable. The column bases and caps bear an old patina that adds to its vintage charm.

Both movements are complete but may require servicing to ensure optimal functionality. The original instruction sheet remains affixed to the rear door, making it a valuable resource for potential owners seeking guidance on maintenance or operation. This Seth Thomas “Chime Clock No. 6” stands at approximately 14 inches in height.
