with any mechanical clock, this one will require professional set up and/or adjustment after
shipment. Accuracy is rarely tested, and
maintenance records are unknown unless otherwise specified. I have no reason to
believe there will be any issues with time accuracy, but no guarantees or
refunds are offered or implied. There are easy to understand instructions on
how to adjust the time printed on the label on the back side of the removable
door. Successful adjustment is dependent on the buyers' mechanical
capabilities. If you do not agree to these terms please do not purchase. Background of Seth Thomas: Seth Thomas (1785-1859) was an American
clockmaker and a pioneer of mass production at his Seth Thomas Clock Company.
Thomas was born in Wolcott, Connecticut, in 1785. He was apprenticed as a carpenter
and joiner and worked building houses and barns. He started in the clock
business in 1807, working for clockmaker Eli Terry. The Seth Thomas Clock
Company was founded and began producing clocks in 1813. It was incorporated as
the "Seth Thomas Clock Company" in 1853. The company manufactured
clock movements for the Self-Winding Clock Company from 1886 thru the early
1890s, in addition to its standard offering of longcase clocks, mantel, wall,
and table-top clocks.
