I have a very similar clock. Seth Thomas brand, with a paper dial. My maternal grandfather bought it used in the early 1920s. One of my late aunts remembers when he brought it home. They lived on an island in Southern Puget Sound and he had gone to town that day. Everyone was looking for him to return and when they saw him, he wasn’t wearing his coat, he had wrapped it around the clock and was carrying it under his arm. The clock lived the next 4.5 decades on a shelf in their kitchen until my grandparents passed in 1969. I have a picture of me sitting on my grandfather’s lap, in front of the clock. I’ve had the clock for about 19 years after my mother’s passing. There are a couple differences between your clock and mine: My door is completely rectangular. There is a ~1.5 inch diameter, metal dome screwed in the back of the case. As a clock chimes, the hammer strikes the coil and the back of the case acts as a sounding board, which resonates with the dome to make a pleasant sound. My local clock repairman looked up the details of my clock and says it was manufactured in a 3 year span in the mid 1880s. I’ve seen similar clocks for sale in the Sears catalog from the early 1900s for about $5. I frequently ponder the workers who made my clock, likely working 12 hours per day for just a few dollars per day, and they were happy for the work since it was inside, not hard physically work in the cold New England winters. Yet they made a machine that still runs reliably after ~140 years. If I fiddle with it, I can keep it within 30 seconds per week. Nice video, thanks for posting.
