The Seth Thomas brand clock is a 200 year-old world-renowned name, famous for its exquisite detail and classic design. The style is most famously represented by the clock hanging in Grand Central Station in New York City.
In a time where many clock companies experienced financial turmoil and factory destruction, Seth Thomas clocks maintained their business and their flawless reputation from the late 19th century to modern times.
Seth Thomas clocks are made from various materials, generally what was most popular during the time they were created - from wood, to brass to marble to metal. The clocks dating from 1881 to 1918 often have an ink-based date code on the back of the clock or on the bottom.
