This clock is a cut above the average mahogany adamantine finished case. The company made about 4 slightly different styles of this model, this being the earliest and the nicest. This clock has four brass ball feet, and a near perfect 13" high case. Flat glass in the sash and a rarely seen porcelain dial that is signed, "Seth Thomas / Sonora Chimes". The dial is perfect, no loss of the black painted numerals or minute marks. On the original backboard is a complete paper label of the selling jeweler, and a partial ST label. The two large movements are running and striking the four resonated bells on quarter hours and hours as it plays Westminster Chimes. The running movement is marked, "89M", the Sonora Chime movement marked, "90". Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 148-149.
