I recently got this at an estate sale. Its a Seth Thomas Clock made in June 1899. I think its either a kitchen or mantel style clock. I cannot find the true name of the clock anywhere! If anyone knows can you let me know! Very cool clock.

This is a wood case mantel clock from the Seth Thomas Metal Series called the "Metals No. 4". Here's a link to another example: http://p2.la-img.com/289/29536/11494509_1_x.jpg
It is a mantel clock. This style is also often called Gingerbread, or Kitchen although the "Kitchen" clocks usually have alarm movements as well.
