C.1904, Chelsea Clock Co., "No. 1 Pendulum" 8-day oak wall timepiece in generally good refinished condition.

23 October 2024
Chelsea used sheet brass for the dial pan, and it was not compatible with their paint, and the dial is flaking considerably and will ultimately need repainting. The hands, pendulum and weight are original. The hold down for the pendulum has been moved from its original position, probably caused by a different length suspension spring. The signed movement has the serial no. 8094, a relatively early number. The wooden weight stop has been removed from the case but is an easy item to replace (a good safety measure to avoid winding the pulley right into the movement). The case has an embossed number plate (9) attached to the lower door, probably the room number of the school it hung in. Height 34 inches
