About the Seth Thomas “Brookfield” Clock
The Seth Thomas “Brookfield” clock, produced around 1958 by the renowned Seth Thomas Clock Company, is a striking example of mid-century banjo clock design. This time and strike model features an 8-day German movement that chimes the hours and half-hours with two melodious steel rods.
The clock’s mahogany case is in clean condition, retaining its original finish. The tablets and hands are original, with a silvered dial showing minimal tarnish. The clock stands at approximately 30 inches tall, making it an imposing addition to any room. It’s important to note that the Seth Thomas Clock Company ceased production of movements in 1956, which makes this clock a unique piece from their later period. While not tested for running condition, this antique “Brookfield” Banjo Clock is offered in excellent original condition.
