]]> Comment on Schatz 8 Day Cuckoo Clock by Thomas http://clockinfo.com/posts/121/comment-page-1#comment-130669 Thomas Wed, 09 May 2012 17:13:29 +0000 http://clockinfo.com/posts/121#comment-130669 I purchaed a Schatz cuckoo clock recently from the Buxton Antique fair here in Derbyshire. It is not like the photo above; it has a bird on the roof apex and a maple leaf motif, but the mechanism looks the same. At first I could not get it to work, but by judicious tiny adjustments of the sliding pendulum, it finally started. This is VERY critical. Now I am highly delighted with it! It looks great against the white wall of my cottage. I purchaed a Schatz cuckoo clock recently from the Buxton Antique fair here in Derbyshire.

Can you tell me the name or model of it? I have seen names such as "Baronet" or "Alhambra" and I know there are thousands of models....I just want to know all I can find out about this one before I take it to my clock pro to clean and get it back running.

But starting around the 1930's, Seth Thomas had a line of clocks named "Plymouth". They used the same movements as clocks marked "Seth Thomas".

Didn't they change the name of the town to Thomastown about then? Just curious. Jim Bill, I thought “Plymouth” was pre 1865. Didn’t they change the name of the town to Thomastown about then?

Have a Seth Thomas Ships Wheel Tambour Mantel Clock with the same label you describe here. Where yours is marked 11 40, mine is marked 1 40. It is also marked with the number 4506 and a plain Z-34 with no letter after. There is another set of numbers inscribed smaller and more lightly on it. They are 110/1197. Do you have any idea what they mean? Is it, perhaps, the 110th clock out of 1197? Or is it something else entirely? Thanks. DDavis Hi.
