Seth Thomas with pully system for weights

[Jess19721]

Hi all,
Just got this at a yard sale for 10 dollars and am very curious if anyone knows anything about it or its age?

Looks like you have a case style #1 which was made 1850-1860. If you could post the address of the label printer we can narrow down the date. Chris

Here is a photo of the label. Does anyone know how much each weight should weigh by chance?

 

[Chris.K]

I run a 3-lb. on the strike side and 2-1/2 lb. on the time side.

Thank you!! It needs a lot of work but I suspect the weights are the most obvious low hanging fruit LOL. Do you need a crank or will a key work?

These originally had a crank rather than a key. I haven’t seen one with an alarm before. It also seems strange to me that the front plate isn’t stamped Seth Thomas. I have several of these and the movements are all stamped, granted none have an alarm, and only one from my collection is Plymouth Hollow.

Yes I haven't found one online with that alarm like that. I've seen one with an alarm underneath like a kitchen clock sometimes has, but none with a winding arbor in the plate like that.
