If you are looking for a reliable, quality floor clock backed up by nearly two centuries of excellence, then you would definitely approve of a Seth Thomas grandfather clock. Seth himself started the company in the early ***0's, the exact date and year of its foundation shrouded by the passage of time. However, it was never the company that was important - it was the clocks that Thomas and his co-workers produced. The amount of attention and detail going to each single clock had defined the clocks of Seth Thomas. This was especially true for their grandfather, or long case, clocks, which are considered classical works of art even by contemporary standards. Many major wars, including the civil war and the two World Wars, have served only to test the mettle of the company. It lived through them to rise above the ashes each time, producing even better pieces with the passage of time. To this day, the unique style of a Seth Thomas clock is something that is difficult to see in other clocks. From the regal patterns of the clock faces to the dark, rich tones of the wood used, it is easy to spot a clock in this style in a room of these clocks. If you want an example of just how timeless these clocks are, you need only witness the majesty of the Grand Central Terminal clock in midtown Manhattan. This is a shining example of the legacy of Seth Thomas, and you can see for yourself how such clocks manage to withstand the test of time. However, you had better act fast if you want to own an original Seth Thomas grandfather clock. The company has stopped making them around twenty years ago, opting instead to focus on table and mantel clocks. The company has left the production of newer long case clocks to other clock companies, elevating the status of their grandfather clocks as legends. This decision has only served to increase the value of their original models as time passes. Their value as family heirlooms and collectors pieces can easily bring the prices up to the $**0, **0.
