Featured in this lot is this beautifully crafted Seth Thomas "Lodge" mantle clock from the early 1900s. 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. This clock shows a metal construction in the style of a small house or lodge as the model name suggests. The clock face is white with black numbering and lettering reading, "Seth Thomas". The bottom reads, "Manufactured in the United States of America". The left and right sides of the clock show small glass panes acting as windows so you can peer into the inner clock workings. The back of the house clock features a door that can be opened to access the clock movement and to wind the gears for time and the alarm bell situated at the bottom of the clock. The clocks alarm can be wound but the time gear does not wind and the clock does not tick. It shows good condition overall with some wear present to the housing but no signs of major damage is noted. It measures 3 5/8" L x 4 1/2" W x 7" H and weighs 1 pound and 14 ounces. Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. C24
