Hi Lindell,

Here is a picture of a later version of a ST #2 bottom similar to yours. This one is on ebay now.

Seth Thomas # 2

Another Seth Thomas # 2

Here's a picture of my Seth Thomas No. 2. I've owned it for ten years or so,
and apart from when I stop it for our vacations,it's been running strong every
day since I got it.

Here's a closer view of the bottom of my Seth Thomas

Here's a bit more of a side view.

Lindell,
Too bad my information didn't help you.

As a point of interest, how old do you think my clock may be? If I were to guess, I'd say it may be around the 1920's, but I've got no records to support my estimate. I'd appreciate your input.

Regards

Dave et Al:
The link below is to a good ST#2 date guide. You should be able to narrow the date down using the guide. I assume that your case does not have a stamp on the back?

Grant,
Thank you for the wonderful model identification chart. Using it I've been able to determine my clock was made in the 1913-1922 time frame. Next time I take my clock off the wall I'll look to see if there's a plate on the back which matches up my estimate.

Hi Dave
By plate are you refering to the date stamp? You understand if it is there it will be backwards with a letter indicating month of manufacture.
ie. 1922 will be 2291 with A=January B=Febuary

I´m just curious but does anyone have a picture of the movement. Really nice clock. Haven´t payed attention to it before really.

Lindell,
I think these are the pics you need. This clock has the large weight behind the sliding board and the round terry movment.

Here's the other pic.

Lindell,
The tracing and dimensions are in the mail.

Larry

Yes, like the precision pendulum, suprisingly simple on the first site but truly reliable and accuratly made. Guess that´s something like that according to this movement aswell, isn´t it?
What kind of escapement is it? Graham dead beat?

Really nice Clock, got to get one of those one day.

Thanks for the photo Lindell....

Lindell,
Here is the so called round Terry movement from my clock. Notice the beat adjustment and the pendulum leader. These items are very similar to the set up on my weight driven ST No. 1 double dial calendar clock. I've owned 1s/2s with the rectangular movement like yours only the mounting method was very much like an OG with the movement on a seat board with vertical support pieces.

Larry

Lindell,
The clock looks great! The satisfaction of making a clock whole again is its own reward but posterity will sing your praises if not your name.

Nicely done!!

Larry

Looks like Tom did a very nice job, I have seen some other work he has done and I believe Tom is a very talanted woodworker.

Congratulatios Lindell and I know right where it is hanging.

Gary

GREETINGS, SETH THOMAS #2 MOVEMENTS USED DEADBEAT ESCAPEMENTS, PERHAPS THE EARLIER ONES WITOUT A SECONDS BIT HAD RECOIL ESCAPEMENTS.THE SECONDS BIT RUNS OFF OF THE ESCAPE WHEEL ARBOR,IF THE ESCAPEMENT WERE RECOIL THE SECOND HAND WOULD MOVE BACK A BIT WITH EVERY BEAT OF THE CLOCK AND IT WOULD NOT LOOK CORRECT. EDDIE

Good subject and information. I've worked on 3 Seth # 2s and they have all looked like this on pictured below. They bolt mounted to a metal bracket attached to the back wall and the pendulum hung from a hanger on the back of the case and not the movement. I have never seen one this old. Thanks...

I have an old walnut veneer case early No 2 with no seconds bit, no maker name on roman numeral dial. Case in pieces with No glass. No bottom. From all my research this has to be one of the earliest st #2's made.

Can anyone supply photos --both front and side views-- AND dimensions so I can replicate the bottom drop, which is missing? I have excellent woodworking skills and moderate clockmaker skills.

I am new to this forum although I have been a member for a year. So, do I need to supply email address or phone or anything else. Harry

Lindell: Have you had a chance to do anything with the drawings? I know you said you were busy and I hope to be able to provide some photos within the next few weeks. As I mentioned it is a bit of a mess but I will send what I have.

Thanks,
Harry
