About Antique and Vintage Seth Thomas Clocks

Seth Thomas was born in Connecticut in 1785, and after apprenticing with other clock makers, bought his own factory in 1810. Starting with wooden movement tall clock production, Thomas added wooden movement shelf clocks, and then brass movements in the popular O.G. case style (made until 1913).

After his death in 1859, Thomas' sons ran the business and continued to introduce new clock styles, including regulators, spring driven clocks, and perpetual calendar clocks. Other later Seth Thomas models included the popular walnut kitchen clocks, marble clocks, black wood mantel clocks, black enameled iron cased clocks, oak kitchen clocks, tambour clocks, chime clocks, and ultimately electric clocks.
