Questions About Seth Thomas Watch
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    To identify a Seth Thomas clock, check its movement for a maker's mark. You may need to remove the back of the clock to access it. During the 19th and mid-20th centuries, the clockmaker usually used its full name in script or block letters to mark its pieces. Later clocks are more likely to display either an S centered with a diamond or the initials ST positioned in a circle. If you have trouble finding a marking, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can perform the identification process for you. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Seth Thomas clocks.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    To tell the date on a Seth Thomas clock, look for a code on the bottom or case back. Most pieces will show the year of production first, with the numbers reversed. Then, you'll usually see a letter. These letters correspond to months, with A representing January, B representing February and L corresponding to December. For example, a date code that reads 31F's manufacturing date would be June 1913. If you need help with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. Find a collection of Seth Thomas clocks on 1stDibs.

    To date a Seth Thomas mantel clock, examine the gears inside. If the movement is wood, the production date of the clock is somewhere between 1817 and 1830. Clocks made after 1881 may feature an ink code date stamp on the case back or bottom. A licensed appraiser can provide assistance with determining the exact manufacturing year. Shop a variety of expertly vetted Seth Thomas mantel clocks on 1stDibs.
