Question

Seth Thomas clock
I have a Seth Thomas office calendar clock #6.
The top wooden bezel section is missing.
Is their a source for old parts or someone to manufacture one?
Thank you,
Bill Leighton

Answer
Hello Bill,

That is a fairly rare clock and I know of no supply house that would carry a replacement.  I usually have to take pics and the clock to a wood carver and have case parts made.  The man I use just passed away so I dont have a suggestion.

You could google to find a local shop and get a name of a carver or find someone who makes special order furniture.

I am so sorry I could be of no help but am sure some research in your area will turn up a carver.


A call to Merritts Antiques in PA might turn up an answer. 610-689-9541  ext 235  Richard Schulze

Good luck and you have a beautiful clock.
