Vintage Seth Thomas No. 77 Chime Mantel Clock Model 113 Movement Functioning

For collectors of American horology, here's a fine example of early 20th-century clockmaking from one of the most respected names in the business: Seth Thomas Clock Co. This piece is identified as the No. 77 Chime, with its original interior paper label still partially intact, and it houses the well-regarded 113 chime movement. Maker: Seth Thomas Clock Co. Established 1813 (label present on bottom of the case, though partially worn).

Movement: Signed Seth Thomas 113, with clear stampings. "Seth Thomas, Thomaston Conn, 113". Case: Classic mahogany tambour-style mantel case, beautifully aged with an even dark finish and authentic period patina (minor wear and surface checking consistent with age). Dial: Silvered dial with bold Arabic numerals, ornate black hands, and a brass bezel. Shows age-related wear but retains its original glass.

Made by Seth Thomas in U. Chime & Strike: Rod gong chime setup with visible hammer arrangement (photos show rods, hammers, and movement condition). Video plays the top of the hour sequence. Pendulum: Original pendulum present, along with matching winding key. Key: Original double-ended brass winding key included.

Handwritten notation "1923" on the key suggests provenance/ownership history. Mechanism is intact and clean, with all gears, rods, and hammers in place.

Case shows normal wear for its age but no major damage. The clock runs and strikes, though as with all antique mechanical clocks, servicing/cleaning is recommended for long-term reliability. The Seth Thomas 113 movement is prized by collectors for its durability and chime quality.

77 tambour mantel style is a classic example of early 20th-century American design, bridging functionality with elegance. The presence of the original case label, stamped movement markings, pendulum, and matching winding key make this a particularly desirable, complete example. The date written on the key (1923) aligns with the production era of the 113 movements, adding to authenticity. Height: 10" Width: 21" Depth: 7. A wonderful addition for the Seth Thomas enthusiast, American clock collector, or anyone who appreciates fine early 20th-century craftsmanship.
