C.1926, Chelsea Clock Co., "Commander", 8-day ship's bell clock with the serial no. 172739 that also matches the number on the wooden stand. This clock was made for John Bliss & Co., New York (well known chronometer makers & distributors), and with their name on dial. The red brass case is in good condition, but would benefit from a polishing. The mahogany stand is in nice condition with some wear to the finish along the base. The 6-inch silvered dial is pretty clean with scratches around the winding arbors and tarnish in a couple of spots; minute hand has a spot of rust. Clock has been in storage and would benefit from cleaning. Height 9.25 inches
