C.1917, Chelsea Clock Co., Boston, CHELSEA model ship's bell clock

C.1917, Chelsea Clock Co., Boston, CHELSEA model ship's bell clock with 6 inch dial, hinged bezel with button latch, as-found. This red brass case was brushed against a high speed wire wheel, which has left a lined texture to the brass. There are no deep pits, and this could be buffed out with patience. This clock was retailed by Max Kuner Co., Seattle, the dial so engraved. Serial number 111544; runs and strikes; overall good condition. Interestingly, Chelsea records indicate this clock was originally sold in 1917 to the Lebolt Co, and then returned as a non-op to Chelsea, and it was repaired and re-dialled for Kuner and shipped on January 5, 1918.
