This is an unusual case with "OG" molded side. Serial number 76589 matches on both case and movement. The movement is clean and running strongly, however, the strike warning lever is a bit out of adjustment and it is not giving the right number of bells; clock is otherwise excellent. This unusual case should attract interest from die hard Chelsea collectors; note Wardroom models were normally time only, so this was certainly a special order. Chelsea records indicate this clock was sold on June 1, 1912. Diameter 10.25 inches
