Made about 1908-1913, this clock features an eight-day movement with “long alarm” based on US Patent No. 896734 awarded to E. B. Latham and J. Walker of New York, New York. They assigned the patent to Seth Thomas Clock Co. of Thomaston, Connecticut.
The clock features an alarm that rings continuously for 20 minutes unless turned off. Once set, the alarm also rings routinely at the same time daily.
