| Catalog Description:
Seth Thomas City Series mantle clock, "Berkley", C. 1909. Mahogany case with gold plated metal trimmings, stands 11.5" high. It has an excellent porcelain dial, signed by Seth Thomas, nice metal sash with flat glass. 8 day movement No. 89C strikes hours on a Cathedral gong and half hours on a brass bell. Pendulum is correct, there are 4 metal feet and a full back door. The clock is one of a series of clocks, all very similar in looks, all about the same size, most with columns on each side, that were named for small cities in Mass., & Conn. Mr. Ly did not include this clock in the City Series section of his Seth Thomas book, but it should have been. Check the City Series clocks, Salem, Sterling, and Clinton, all cities in Mass. just like Berkeley, and all are very similar clocks. Ly-Seth Thomas #1071.
