How do i find out the age of this clock?
Mine keeps time but no chime. The repair shop says mine is wore out and needs the chimer section replaced. Do not try to repair yourself as it will cost you more in the long run.
SOURCE: I have a Seth Thomas Sonoma chime clock and no instructions
there should be a key to wind in hole in face
SOURCE: Seth Thomas wall clock wont set to time.
either the battery is weak or the gears inside are stuck and need to be worked with flathead or eyeglass repair screwsdriver.

Middle Key hole for the time.
Left side is for Chime

These clock do need oiling every couple of years and should be cleaned at least every 10 years.
One of the winding holes is for the time, one is for the strike and the 3rd is for the chime. These do vary in location from clock to clock so I can't advise any further. It sounds like this clock has 2 differenct chimes depicted by the SIE & EIV7.
I think your best option is to take it to a clock shop and get it cleaned. They should then be able to give you more information on the chimes and its operation.

If your clock has a small hole between 4 and 5 then you can turn off the quarter hours chimes using the small part of the key. If your clock does not have that small hole you can not turn off the quarte hor chimes.
