Vintage Chelsea Nautical Base & Ball Ships Bell Clock Rose Case
About the Item
This one is a vintage example and is an exceptional ship's clock keeping accurate time compared to a quartz comparison watch. The bells sound in proper ship's sequence and have a resounding ring due, in part, to the Mahogany sounding board in its base. It has a 4 1/2 inch, 12 hour silvered brass dial in "new" original condition, black Moon hands, and no seconds hand. The bronze case's base is forged in one piece and accounts for its heavy weight. The bronze case has a decided pink cast and is 3 1/2 inches deep. The bezel is hinged and is opened by a button on the left. The design of this clock dates back to 1906, and its upgraded movement is descended from patents issued June 5, 1900, and Aug 29, 1911.
The serial number indicates it was made between 1975 and 1979. It weighs almost 4 pounds. Chelsea key included.

- Period:
- Date of Manufacture:1970's
- Condition:Considering its age and years of use, it is hard to tell this clock from new except for a few tiny scratches on the back of the case, and the lacquer which is worn in a number of places. The heart of the clock, its upgraded movement, works in perfect unison with a quartz comparison watch. There is nothing like the resonant ringing of a ship's bell from this design.<br /> Copyright 2012 Land and Sea Collection. All Rights Reserved.
