Seth Thomas "Broken Arch" Sonora Chime Mantel Clock
circa 1912
mahogany veneer case with inlaid decoration, brass 8-day no. 89 time and strike movement actuating a separate 8-bell chime movement playing two tunes, signed on the dial
16 3/4 x 11 x 9 inches

This case looks very similar to those made by the Sonora Chime Company which Seth Thomas bought in 1912. It is 2 inches shorter than a similar unlisted model in Tran Duy Ly's "Seth Thomas Clocks and Movements Volume 1," page 162.

Provenance: Property from a New York City Estate
