Chelsea Clock Company desk set, similar to their "Claremont" model, a clock and barometer set on one base. This set is a little different in that you do not wind from the front but you screw off the back bezel, wind by turning a button like winder that is 1.25" in diameter. The hand set knob is similar to the wind knob except much smaller. Barometer case is identical to clock case, front and back both screw off. Heavy beveled glass in front. Both have silver dials about 3.25". Clock dial is signed, "The Loring Andrews Co. Cincinnati", and the name, "Chelsea" inside the seconds dial. Clock is running. The barometer-thermometer dial is signed, "Made in France". A serial number underneath the base is, "150965". 4 brass turned feet on the base. Case is 9.75" long. This is a first class, working Chelsea set. See Ly-American, Volume 2, page 89, for a similar set.
