Restored Antique 1920 Seth Thomas Chime Clock No. 11 Westminster Sonora Design

For Sale is our 1920 Antique Seth Thomas Chime Clock No. 11 Westminster Chiming Mantle / Mantel eight day wind-up clock with original key and original pendulum. The clock is the noteworthy tombstone shape and has a soothing Tick-Tock, quarter hour chimes / hourly salutes (see the YouTube link below).

11 case has been carefully cleaned/refurbished; we installed two new mainsprings and several bushings at the loose pivot points. The door operates as designed and we attached a high quality felt pad to each foot to prevent scratching on delicate surfaces. The case is hardwood with beautiful grain patterns and ornate trim around the base. On the right hand side is a lever to silence the chimes. Very few Seth Thomas Westminster clocks like this still remain; the 10lbs of brass in these clocks were often sent to the smelters during WWII to make brass casings.

It has the same movements as the Sonora chiming clocks. It was truly a pre-WWII high-end chiming clock. The uniqueness to this style of Seth Thomas Westminster Chime clock is the two separate movements that interact to provide the correct chimes and salutes. The time movement is a 89AM 8-day dual train that operates the time and hourly salutes. The 119 movement operates the quarter hourly chimes; 4 chime tones at 15 past the hour, 8 chime tones at 30 minutes past the hour, 12 chime tones at 45 minutes past the hours, and 16 chime tones at the top of the hour prior to the hourly salutes.

It is remarkable clockmanship that allow these two movements to trip actions between each other. The face has been cleaned, it has minor scuffs/nicks/wear from normal usage.

It allows for adjustments to the time (fast and slow), and winding the time/chime arbors. The brass around the glass was cleaned and adds charm to the face. Glass / crystal is original with beveled edge in excellent condition. The key is new and looks like the original for the clock with the Seth Thomas mark. The pendulum bob/weight is original with the clock. We installed a new pendulum extension rod for accurate time keeping. We installed two new main springs in the 89 movement and several new bushings at the worn/oblong pivot points on both movements, bushings are high quality bronze pressed in carefully. Clock dimensions are 10" wide x 7.5" deep x 14 high. 11 clock keeps time very well and has a very pleasant chime. We really appreciate the Seth Thomas mechanical clocks for the workmanship and details. This clock is heavy and well built with quality pre-WWII US made materials. Refurbished antique clocks are excellent wedding, holiday, graduation, anniversary, retirement, and birthday gifts. We then fill the box with foam peanuts and nestle the antique clock in the middle.

We do the following to all of our clocks. Disassemble the entire clock and movement completely. Install new US made parts on the movement if needed (main springs and pendulum suspension rods). Bush all worn pivot holes with high quality Bergeon bronze bushings as needed. Clean the entire movement using environment friendly cleaners.

Clean the original dial careful not to alter its original condition. Clean bezel, parts and chime rods by hand. Reassemble the clock, oil and lube in the proper places. Adjust chime and strike hammer sequence properly to assure smooth and even strikes. Inspect and adjust every minor detail of the clock assuring full function and peak performance for many years to come.
