| Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas Sonora "Chime Clock No. 11", C. 1915, 5 bells. Mahogany fine figured pattern (per catalogs) and stands just a tad under 14". The bells play Westminster Chimes every 15 minutes, or can be silenced at your discretion. This is a very good looking wood case except for a scratch on the left side (doctored with mahogany stain, not bad, could be disguised a little better) that hardly detracts but keeps the case from being perfect. Silver dial is 6", has etched numerals, 3 winding arbors and the slow-fast arbor, shows wear which is normal on these silver dials. Bowed glass over the dial. Silencing lever on the right side. Sonora movement No. 90B, and 8 day movement No. 89AG, pendulum and key included. The clock is running, but should be serviced. The full back door has a brass cutout curtain covered with cloth, to allow the resonated bell sounds to escape the case. Ly-Seth Thomas, pages 206-221.
