Seth Thomas Plymouth Series 8-Day Tambour Mantel Clock - This is a working vintage American mantel clock features a tambour-style wooden case with a mahogany-colored finish. The design is characterized by a rounded top and curved sides, a common aesthetic for mid-20th-century horology. The circular silvered metal dial is housed behind a convex glass lens and a hinged brass-toned bezel. The dial displays black Arabic numerals and features decorative filigree hour and minute hands. Two winding arbors are positioned on the face at the 4 and 8 o'clock marks, and the bottom of the dial is printed with the mark MADE IN U.S.A. The back of the clock contains a hinged wooden access door. Affixed to the interior of this door is an original paper label titled GUARANTEE and DIRECTIONS, which references the No. 4300, 4500, and 4600 Series 8-Day Pendulum Strike Movements in Tambour Cases. The label specifically mentions Plymouth clocks and features the handwritten name SETH THOMAS in script at the top. The internal mechanical brass movement is stamped with the numbers 4506 and 4642 on the plates.Height: 8.75 inchesWidth: 11.5 inchesDepth: 6 inches.
