I inherited this clock from my father. It was brought to Maine in 1919 by my great grand parents. Anybody know who made it or possibly how old it is would be great. Can’t seem to find any info online about it. Might be a Seth Thomas but not sure. I believe it came from Massachusetts.

Hi and welcome to Collectors Weekly, Clocks. I'm not sure because I can't find a match to this clock in my references but it looks like it might have been made but the Waterbury Clock Company. I say this because of its distinctive feet, hands and pendulum. The movement appears to match another movement I found on the internet which is identified as a Waterbury Movement:

It's a black enameled wood case mantel clock and because of similar models found in my reference book, I think that a good guesstimate on agewould be that it is from circa 1910 give or take about 10 years. This would align with your provenance information as well.
From what I can read on your partial label, it would seem that the model name was "Queen". Can you read any more detail on the right side of the label remnants on the back of the case?
If you can give us any more information, my opinion may change based upon new facts, otherwise what I say above would be my best guess.
Do you have any questions?
