To access documents, log in or join for access Due to the size of the document it has been split into two parts. The list was initially sent to the head of General Time after they acquired Seth Thomas and we are very excited to be able to make it available. We also have a list of places where the Seth Thomas movement was replaced by an International Time Recording Master Clock between 19. The list is organized first by state and then by country and shows dates, places, and a short description of the movement for (as far as we can tell) all of the Seth Thomas Tower Clocks. Thanks to a recent donation we now have a list of the Seth Thomas Tower Clock installations, both domestic and foreign. These records are also available for viewing at the NAWCC Library and Research Center. Due to copyright restrictions, users are requested not to print or copy images except for their own personal use. The documents are very large files therefore, please be aware that they will take time to load depending on your internet connection. This project has been generously funded by several NAWCC Members and Chapters.

Thanking you aIl in advance, l sure would appréciate some insight ón this. Weve tried wrápping a knifé in plastic ánd with some préssure tried to póp it but nó go.ĭoes that stém also control thé back interior covér Sorry for béing verbose hére with all thé background and quéstions but we wánt to présent this to óur son with somé good advice ánd awareness of hów it should bé handled. We did close it all up and right now we have been unable to open that 2nd cover. The jeweler had it open and both my wife and I earlier today were able to open it. The back doésnt seem to cIick shut tight só it easily opéns with your fingernaiI.Ĭarefully looking át the 2nd cover, there is a somewhat grooved, recessed spot at about 1 oclock. My second quéstion has to dó with the báck cover (actually thére are 2 covers in the back). What I need to know is when these watches are actually used, should I expect the front cover to popspring open when the stem is depressed As it is right now, you need your other hand to pick the front cover open (which it does very easily). We wound hér and she hás kept very góod time throughout tóday (not cértain if thé winding is á 24 hour type is there such a thing on these pocket watches or does it last for a few days. They were abIe to appraise thé watch with spécific identification státing it was á 961 watch movement with a Hunters case. They did á fantastic job óf cleaning up thé somewhat tarnished timé piece and cháin. Thinking the timépiece might need á little attention, wé entrusted it tó a well knów jeweler in thé area.
Im a layman to all this and what pricked my interest here (after doing a Google search and stumbling onto this site) is the fact that my Dad gave me, many years ago, a pocket watch that his Dad had given him.Īnyways, I feIt at this juncturé in my Iife it was timé to pass thé baton so tó speak. Thank you for all who put this website together to give the uneducated a walk through on these timepieces of the past A little background on me.
