      This is one of Seth Thomas' unlisted Adamantine Black Mantel Clocks. I believe that it was manufactured earlier than you suspect. My guess would be circa 1910 give or take five years, but that's just a guess for what it is worth. Perhaps your Grandfather still acquired it in the 30's?

      I owned one very similar to yours. They clean up well, keep pretty good time for an antique mechanical clock and usually sound great striking the hour/half-hour

      Here's a pic:

      Hope that helps.

      Sorry I couldn't be more definitive.

      Thanks for sharing your heirloom.

      Thank You Bruce99. You helped me very much.
      I knew, that my grandfather had bought a second hand clock, but did´nt know the age. In Your picture I first time can see an almost similar clock as mine. Only the decoration in the lower part is a bit different.
      I just had this clock at clocksmith and it keeps time very well and as You said, sound is great.
