Item Description
A nicely done Chelsea Ship's Clock (time only) like this one does not come along very often. The Ship's Clock comes in a mahogany case.  The Clock sits in the wood case loosely, not affixed.  Would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep it for yourself.
Nice looking clock here done by the Chelsea Clock Company.
The Chelsea Clock Company is an American clock manufacturing company founded in 1897.
Clocks produced by Chelsea Clock Company have been found in the White House, on US Naval Ships, and in homes and offices around the world. The company continues to build and repair clocks at their corporate headquarters in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
This fine Clock is being offered to you at a price below what you would see in a high end auction house or clock shop.  We have been selling fine items out of our home for over 35 years.  We are therefore better positioned to control our acquisition costs, keep commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that the higher end auction houses and clock shops pass on to their clients
.
The Chelsea Clock Case is in very good condition.  Metal with brass lacquering.  Some loss to the lacquer over the past 110 years.  The bezel is still securely attached to the case.  The knob to latch and open the bezel needs some adjustment.   Sits in a mahogany wood base that has a reddish brown finish to it.
The serial number on the clock movement is 69297.  That would date to clock to around 1911.  Comes with a vintage wind key, not one with Chelsea on it.
Nice silver colored tin face with incised black colored numbers and marks on it.  The flat glass over the face is intact, no cracks or blistering.  Bezel that holds the glass is sound as is the hinge.  Has Chelsea Clock Company noted on the back of the case and the serial number.  The face has a seconds hand and also a wind strength meter.
The clock is in running condition when we acquired.
Not a Ship’s Bell movement
.
The clock is being sold in running condition.
We are selling this clock in running condition at this juncture,
no warranty intended.  There is no representation that the clock is in original condition, or will continue to be in working order.
The brass movement has the Chelsea name on it.  The clock is 5.5" across at the bezel.  In the wood base, the clock stands 7-5/16" tall, by 9-3/8" across, by 4" wide.  The clock face is 3.75" across.  Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
As can be expected when dealing with an antique clock, some adjustments may be needed after shipping to get the clock re-running correctly again as they can be very delicate.  If you have not had experience with old mechanical clocks before, I would suggest you steer clear.  One really needs to have the patience, and skill to work with these great works of art.  They are not our modern plug in and go, or change the battery clocks.  Please ask any questions relating to this matter, before you decide to purchase it.
Make sure that this item meets your needs and requirements before deciding to acquire it.  The item can be returned, there is a 10% restocking fee to do so.
So again, ask all questions you have, come see in person (Wilmington, DE) or send a friend to see the piece on your behalf, prior to deciding to acquire it.
The pictures provided both complement and supplement the listing description, so please look at them very closely as well.  With old items, there is no way one can capture all the little imperfections in words, so the two media are meant to be the full description.
Please check out our other Timeless Tokens store listings as we are regularly adding new items.  We specialize in antique and vintage artwork, collectibles, musical instruments, clocks/watches, and decorative boxes.  Thanks for your business. (E21001).
