I just purchase an 8 day “The Plymouth Clock” It’s a mantle clock with 1/4 hour chimes and Hour.
The Number stamped on the bottom is 5592 and the cclock works have stamped into the metal 89IL 36-5
The clock is in a mahogany cabinet with an embossed letters on an aluminium face. It’s in perfect condition and I am wondering what this clock might be worth.
Thank you for any information I can get on this beautiful clock.

I just etched these two stampings and definitely have 382 and 5593.

I have a Plymouth mantle clock that belonged to my great-aunt and was given to my mother. It looks exactly like your first example. After reading all the previous posts, Ive checked the bottom of the clock and it looks to be stamped either 332 or 382. Also appears to be stamped ?593. I can tell that something preceeds the 593 bur dannot make out what it is.

The key is no longer with the clock. Is it possible to get a key for this clock?
Thanks

I just purchased a Seth Thomas model E511-003 Lynton 1W. Can someone tell me about this model. It is in nice condition, runs well, chimes, has original key. What might be the value.Thank you.

I have a ST tambour mantle clock with a 120f movement. I know this should be repaired rather than replaced, but if I replace, do you know what movement would be comparable and fit in the case? Perhaps Hermle makes something? The strike is a gong, not a chime. Thanks for any info you might have.

I have a Seth Thomas “Plymouth” Tambour Mantel Clock like the one shown in example 1 .It has the 891M stamped on the movement with a code of S-7 right below. The clock is in excellent condition but probably need to be cleaned. My aunt bought the clock new (she wrote the date 11/15/34 on the label in the back). I bought it from her estate a few years ago after her 100th birthday. I am interested in selling it but am not sure where to go. Any ideas?

Plymouth tambour mantel clock #4505 (09-41)was purchased @ yard sale with no pendulum nor a key. The movement looks like your 1945 pictured. Can you me locate a key and a pendulum?
