Seth Thomas TAMBOUR, circa 1915

This is a Seth Thomas "tambour-style" mantel clock from around 1915. As far as I have been able to learn, the model name is "TAMBOUR". It's a little over 20 inches wide and a little over 10 inches tall. It has round Seth Thomas 8-day time & strike No. 48L brass movement with deadbeat escapement and cylindrical pendulum. The case has its original finish which shows light crazing. I obtained this clock from a local estate auction on March 09, 2009. The clock was running, striking properly, and keeping good time as received. I removed the movement for inspection and I found no excessive wear, so I just dusted it off, oiled it and returned everything to the case. At some point I will disassemble the movement and give it a through cleaning, but for now, I just plan to enjoy this lovely old clock.
