1908-13 Seth Thomas \"Long Alarm\" clock, original, working For Sale

This is a Seth Thomas \"Long Alarm\" clock, sold from 1908-1913. It has a brass top \"cylinder\" on a heavy bronze base. This was rare, as most clocks of the time used the cheap metal alloy \"spelter.\" It\'s in the Art Nouveau style.
The clock works great; even the seconds hand works. It keeps time, you can set the time and alarm, and the alarm goes off at the set time. No issues at all. Does not appear to have ever been refinished, and everything looks original.
This style was called the \"Long Alarm\" because there\'s no shut-off switch. Depending on how much you wind up the alarm winder, it can run anywhere from 1 minutes up to 10-15 minutes before the spring is unwound and it stops. You can also shut it off by changing the alarm time, as I show at the end of the video.

In the year I\'ve owned this clock, I ran it 2 weeks to test it, winding daily. It worked (and still works) great, no issues at all. Note however that no >100-year old alarm clock should be run as a daily-use clock for months or years on end. It ticks pretty loudly too. But it does work fine and is fun to show off to people who visit. This can be accomplished by just winding each of the keys half a turn to let the clock tick and show off its cool alarm. But it normally just sits on a tidy shelf with my other clocks looking gorgeous.Only selling because I have too many clocks and my primary collecting interest has pivoted to Austrian-made Vienna regulator wall clocks, so I\'m downsizing my collection of mantel and alarm clocks.
