Nice that you found it. That is a real treasure!! Quite often a good
cleaning, and 'proper lubrication' is all that they need to be running
again. It appears from the photo that yours is missing the glass. I had
to recently find glass for my old General Radio syhchronometer, and
found it at RONELLCLOCK.COM for a very reasonable price. Good luck
with the Seth Thomas if you decide to restore it.

Funny, you're the second person that mentioned that. I had actually
inherited one of those Seth Thomas mantle clocks from my Grandparents,
but lost track of it. So, I dug around in some stuff that had been
stashed away for quite a while and lo and behold, I found it! So,
maybe ...that was in the back of my mind somewhere and prompted me to
design that acrylic that way! Could be? Now I'll have to see if i can
get this baby working.IMG_1993.JPG

That is really cool, and very nice looking. I don't know if it was
your intent or not, but the gently curved sides reminds me of the
old Seth Thomas (and others) mantel style clocks of a hundred
years or so ago. As a child of long ago I remember seeing quite a
few of them. Nice reminder, and very nice work to the craftsman
who did this. For those unfamiliar with mantel clocks of yore,
here's one on Ebay to look at, 267574599945. I did notice
something about this old Seth Thomas on Ebay, that I do not
remember seeing or hearing about here in this group. Has anyone
ever added chimes to their Nixie clocks? I think that would be
really cool for someone to do if not already done.
Thanks, Ira.
