Manufactured by the Chelsea Clock Co of Boston, this brass wall clock is mounted on a custom wooden base. The clock does not have its key, but it does wind and is running. It has not been tested for an extended period of time. The clock measures 14 3/4"Diameter x 3 5/8"W. The dial measures approximately 11 7/16", with the base it is 19 1/2"H. The key is not present. Following is additional information which was found behind the back of the clock: Chelsea Clock Co./American Steam Gauge Co., Boston, Mass., wall clock, polished brass hinged case , blued steel hands with a compensating minute hand, 12 in. painted metal dial with roman numerals, 8 day, time only, spring driven movement. Serial #135650 stamped on the machine engraved plate screwed to the interior of the hinged case. This number in the factory sales ledger indicates a Model "B" (Recording Steam Gauge) movement sold to the "American Steam Gauge Co." on "August 4, 1920." The zinc dial appears to be a replacement with additional mounting holes that do not align with the case pillars and the Model E serial #132668 movement is held in place with newer steel clips. The factory number on this movement indicates it was originally housed in a clock sold to Cincinnati Jeweler, "Loring Andrews & Co." and shipped on "Nov. 12, 1919." The Regulator Pointer is missing.
