The clock stands approximately 8 inches tall and 7.5 inches wide, crafted with a brass frame and beveled glass panels on all sides, allowing clear visibility of the clock’s intricate pendulum and timekeeping mechanism. The face features Roman numerals with fleur-de-lis accents and traditional black hands.
Below the dial, the clock is marked ‘Made in Germany’ and bears the Seth Thomas signature. The rear plate is stamped with ‘Kieninger & Obergfell, Made in Western Germany, no (0) jewels unadjusted.’ A dedication plaque on the front reads, ‘OHIO BELL R.N.F. RETIREMENT 8-20-75,’ indicating this piece was originally presented as a retirement gift.
