I have what I found out is a very rare Seth Thomas Hotel clock. It is working perfectly but I am missing the hotel room numbers and the tags. Would anyone have any leads as to where I could get the last two items? Apolgies for the upside down pictures. Thank you Jeff
How cool ! A Seth Thomas Hotel "Minder" clock (c. 1890). Not sure if you know, but the pegs below the numbers would have a small disc with a room number on it, so the desk clerk could get the bellboy to do a wake-up call at the right time for the room guest. It hangs directly on the hour number or below the "hour" peg at 15-minute intervals. (15, 30, 45). These were designed to accommodate up to 84 rooms.
Just do a search for Seth Thomas clock parts and you should find a good number of people who have or can find such parts. GREAT FIND.

OK, RCassano is right. It's for hotel wakeup calls. McMaster-Carr may well have the brass tags for this .
This got me started in the right direction thanks guys
@slackjack - I''m always right. If you don't believe me, just ask my wife. LOL
