Two strikes at 1, 5 or 9 o'clock. Three bells at 1:30, 5:30 and 9:30. Four bells at 2, 6 and 10 o'clock. Five bells at 2:30, 6:30 and 10:30. Six at 3, 7, 11. Seven at 3:30, 7:30 and 11:30. 8 bells at 4, 8 and 12 signifying change every four hours of onboard watch duty. Barometer gage seems to be working, as the black needle has moved from the gold needle set point many times (see photos).The brass has some spotting and tarnish - See photos for description of condition. The Seth Thomas Clock Company was founded by Seth Thomas and began producing clocks in 1813. Seth Thomas added his name to the clockâs dial, usually centered just above the number 6 on the dial. Clocks built through 1879 had no name on the dial, but during the years 1881 to 1888; 1913 through 1929; and 1929 forward, his name often appeared on the dial. The Seth Thomas company started making weather barometers to match the clocks. On the face of the barometer, you will see Rain, Change, and Fair. The brand name Seth Thomas should always be found as also the words Weather Barometer. The set is in great shape especially for its age. I am happy to answer any questions or provide additional images.
