Plymouth Clocks division of the Seth Thomas Co. You have a "Style 5637" circa 1938. Described as having a polished walnut case, 5 3/8" silvered dial with open center. Polished sash. 8-day cushion mounted spring pendulum movement, rack and snail (vast improvement over count-wheel mechanisms) Hour and half-hour chord strike on double rods. 8 5/8" height, 12 3/4" width, 3 3/4" depth or thickness. Does that sound like your clock? :)
yes but wow what r u ? I just collect them and play around with but not to your degree. I am impressed!! Go to bed I'll talk to you tomorrow. Nite.......Misty
Thanks for the compliment Misty! :) I'm just a clock collector like you. I like to say that I have too much time on my hands and a lot of good reference materials right at my fingertips. If I don't know it, I usually don't have to do much digging if it's in my area of interest. We love Tall Case clocks and American manufacturers generally in their golden period between 1875 through about 1950...we prefer the tick-tock sound of mechanicals with their genuine strike and chime mechanisms. A really good thing about C.W. is that it expands your horizons. Folks share photos of and information on some really great items here. It's a virtual museum.
