SOUND FILES ARE ATTACHED AT THE END OF THIS LISTING TO ASSIST YOU IN REVIEWING THE 8 BELL SONORA CHIME CLOCK NUMBER OFFERED TODAY STILL IN TIME FOR 2007, FOR YOUR COLLECTION, OR FOR ONE'S OWN PLEASURE IS AN ABSOLUTELY GRAND SETH THOMAS SONORA WESTMINSTER CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 257 - 1914. THIS ONE IS EQUISITE, AND BOTH CLOCK MOVEMENTS IN THIS LOVELY SONORA HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY SERVICED AND RESTORED - ONE WILL HAVE TO LOOK AN AWFULLY LONG TIME AND WILL STILL NOT FIND A FULLY RESTORED SONORA CHIME CLOCK NO. 257 AS FINE AS THIS ONE!!!! DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES THIS IS A SONORA CHIME CLOCK WITH A NEST OF EIGHT SUBERB RESONATED BELLS AND AN EXPANSIVE SOUND CHAMBER - THE CHIMES ARE RICH AND RESONANT, WITH SUPERB TIMBRE AND DECAY AFTER EACH NOTE IS SOUNDED - OTHER NON-SETH BELL CHIME ANTIQUE CLOCKS SIMPLY CANNOT COMPARE WITH THE GLORIOUS SOUND FROM THIS CHIME 257 SONORA. THE NEW OWNER WILL DEFINITELY WANT TO PLACE THE SETH 257 IN A VERY SPECIAL LOCATION IN THE HOME. THE SONORA 257 IS A DELIGHT TO VIEW, WITH A MELLOW SATIN DULL RUBBED RIBBON MAHOGANY PATINA AND A CLEAN YET ELEGANT CASE DESIGN. THE DORIC TOP STYLING COUPLED WITH THE DUAL SIDE PANELS AND FULL BONNET PRESENTS AN INVITING TRANSITION TO THE LARGE AND EASILY READ SIX AND ONE HALF INCH DIAL. PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE SUPERSIZE PHOTOS FOR HIGH RESOLUTION CLOSE IN VIEWS. THE ORIGINAL SHELLAC ON THE RIBBON MAHOGANY FINISH WAS RETAINED, AND THE ENTIRE CABINET WAS PROFESSIONALLY CONDITIONED AND RESTORED WITH MY SPECIAL PROCESS, IN ORDER TO BRING FORTH THE RICHNESS OF THE ORIGINAL INLAY WORK - TIME CONSUMING, YES - BUT JUST LOOK AT THE BEAUTY OF THIS SONORA NO. 257 MODIFIED DORIC STYLE CABINET! THIS EIGHT BELL SONORA CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 257 IN NEAR-PERFECT CONDITION IS A MOST SOUGHT AFTER SETH THOMAS SONORA BY COLLECTORS AND SONORA ENTHUSIASTS. FINDING ONE THAT IS, OR CAN BE, COMPLETELY RESTORED IS PLAIN DIFFICULT BECAUSE MOST ARE ALREADY PART OF PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. ALSO AS INFORMATION , SETH'S NUMBERING/NAMING SCHEME FOR SONORAS DEFIES LOGIC, BUT GENERALLY THE PREFIX "2" WAS USED TO INDICATE AN 8 BELL SONORA AS OPPOSED TO A 4 OR 5 BELL SONORA. THIS SONORA 257 IS AN ALL-ORIGINAL FULLY RESTORED BEAUTY THAT YOU WILL TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN OWNING AND USING. I JUST FINISHED THE RESTORATION OF THIS SONORA AND WOULD LOVE TO MAKE IT PART OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, BUT I FEEL THAT SOMEONE ON EBAY WILL DESIRE THIS LOVELY SHOW PIECE; AND I ALREADY HAVE SELECTED SONORAS, ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS FINE AS THIS ONE OFFERED TO YOU TODAY.
