Stratford U.S.A.
Stratford U.S.A. is a private label in Seth Thomas 18-size open-face Model 12, Seth Thomas 18-size hunting Model 13 and 6-size hunting Model 18.
The Stratford designation appears to have functioned as a J. M. Smyth Company house brand applied to Seth Thomas movements supplied for catalog sale. No surviving documentation currently links the name to a specific geographic origin. In the absence of such evidence, the most plausible explanation is that “Stratford” was selected for its marketing tone rather than geographic significance.
