This is a circa 1910 Seth Thomas "Meditation" clock. It is gold plated with a bronze case, a porcelain face, and has an 8 day movement. The movement is the 89H. This clock chimes on the half hour. Dimensions: 12"h x 9"w x 6"d.
I found this at a thrift shop covered in dust. I bought it for $130 marked down from $200. I feel i got a deal but can't find any comparisons without having to pay a subscription. So if anyone can tell me if I did good or bad it will put my mind at ease.
Any information other than what I have said. I wish to learn all I can about this clock.
Per an old clock book I have, your Seth Thomas is named: MEDITATION
circa 1904
