For your consideration is this Seth Thomas Sons & Company faux marble mantle clock circa 1900-1910. Seth Thomas was born in Wolcott, Connecticut in 1785 and started an apprenticeship under Eli Terry in 1807, at the age of 27 where he worked as a carpenter for Eli Terry until 1811. In 1811 Eli Terry sold the business to Seth Thomas where he then partnered with Silas Hoadley. After only two years, Seth sold his interest to Hoadley and moved to Plymouth, Connecticut to found the Seth Thomas Clock Company which had approximately 20 employees when he started. In 1853, The Seth Thomas Clock Company was incorporated to ensure the company's continuance after the death of Seth Thomas. Not long after in 1959, Seth Thomas passed away and his sons, Seth Jr., Edward, and Aaron took over the business where Aaron acted as President. Then, a new separate company called, "Seth Thomas Sons & Company" was created to manufacture lever movements using spring balances for mantel clocks. The company ceased operations in 2009. The clock shows a mantle style with a flat base and top. It is constructed of a black faux marble showing the clock face front and center. The clock face shows two hands, three winding holes and black roman numeral numbers. Above the roman numeral six it reads, "Seth Thomas Sons & Co N.Y." in black lettering. The back of the clock has a glass opening to access the internal components. The clock shows good condition with wear and marks due to its vintage age and a small ship on the right side of the faux marble, but no other signs of obvious damage are noted. The clock has not been tested for functionality. The clock measures 6 3/8" L x 13 3/4" W x 9 5/8" H and weighs approximately 29 lbs and 4 oz.
