Up for sale is a genuine, certified 103-year-old antique 1923 mechanical tambour mantel clock produced by the Plymouth Clock Division of the Seth Thomas Clock Company. This historic American timepiece is being offered strictly as-is for parts, repair, or a premium restoration project. A major selling point for this specific antique lot is that it comes complete with its original antique double-ended brass winding key and the factory-correct brass-cased pendulum bob, saving you the hassle and expense of sourcing separate components. Additionally, it features the remarkably well-preserved, 100% authentic original factory "Guarantee and Directions" paper label securely affixed to the rear wooden access door panel, carrying the historical "Z 23" catalog print code from its exact 1923 Thomaston, Connecticut production run.
While the mechanical movement is being sold unverified, non-working, or untested with all faults for project use, the structural wood case remains exceptionally solid with a beautiful dark mahogany patina. The intact paper label displays crisp, fully legible typography with only minor, honest century-old edge-toning and faint pencil markings from historical service wear as shown in the photographs, adding immense historical value that modern reproductions simply cannot replicate.
