Seth Thomas & Sons Mantle Clock
This 1967 spelter mantle clock
has an enameled metal face with
Roman numerals. The case is
decorated with lines and
scrollwork. Two cast griffins form
the handles. Mounted on the
case’s top is a cast covered urn
form.
An appraiser noted that originally
the case would have had a bronze
patina and also believed the top
urn form to be a replacement.
