Seth Thomas 黄铜小船钟（小于6吋），这个是德国“Helmsman”代工的7钻，8日鏈吗（没看清楚6点位下面的字）？

是的话年份不会太老，1960左右吧。

后盖上的“SETH THOMAS CLOCKS”比较好理解，就是公司名字，

“THOMASTON, CONN. U S A”，全称是“THOMASTON CONNECTICUT USA”，

美国康涅狄格州 THOMASTON镇，也就是“SETH THOMAS CLOCKS”钟厂所在地。

关于THOMASTON镇有个小故事，就是为了纪念Seth Tomas而起的名字：

History

Thomaston was originally part of the Farmington Proprietor's purchase in 1684 of the Mattatuck Plantation, the Thomaston area achieved independence in 1739, as the Northbury Parish. Northbury and Westbury united in 1780 to form Watertown. In 1795 Northbury again separated to become Plymouth, the Thomaston section was called Plymouth Hollow.

In 1813 a man named Seth Thomas came to the hollow to manufacture clocks. By 1856 Thomas was labeling his clocks with "Thomas Town." He helped route the Naugatuck railroad through Plymouth Hollow, linking us with the brass center at Waterbury.

On July 6,1875 Thomas Town became Thomaston in memory of Seth Thomas and the separation from Plymouth was confirmed by the State Legislature.
