Understand I got it in 1964 when it was considered an oddity that few would want .
I'm always gathering up old & obscure things my 80 Y.O. friend had er gandmother's 1913 Seth Thomas mantle clock with two chimes, she said it stopped working before grandma died, I bet no one bothered to wind it .
I put it on The Bay of e sans reserve and not
one bid so she sold it to me for $35 ~ I can't wait to get it cleaned, lubricated and working again .
Old stuff tends to be very well made in general .
