Chelsea Ship?s Bell Clock ~ Brass/Mahogany

This outstanding clock came from the Estate of a gentleman who loved fine clocks and watches. His collection was awesome. The Original Chelsea Ship?s Bell has been sought after and treasured for over 100 years. They are now treasured antiques. An interesting bit of information ~ these clocks have been the timekeepers of the US Navy since 1897.

It has an 8 day mechanical key movement which rings with the sound of the traditional ship?s bells, striking on the hour and the half hour-with one bell for each half hour on a 4 hour watch at sea.
The bezel is hinged making it easy to wind. Day and night these ship's bell sounds become welcome and might remind one of the boundlessness of our vast seas.

The dial is 4.5? D. The clock in it?s mahogany base measures 9?W and it stands 7? high. There are bits of aging here and there, testifying to the age of this wonderful clock.. I find these little signs desireable. Beyond these its perfect. I?ve just taken it to a Clock Shop that deals in Chelsea clocks. The workings have been cleaned, restored and it is running like a charm.
This clock will require professional packaging for shipping.
