Rare older Chelsea clocks. Two were made for the U.S. Navy and two for the U.S. L. H. Service. One of the lighthouse models has had the silver rubbed off the dial, but the raised letters are still legible. Light house model has a movement serial number of 84913 and is missing its balance wheel. The larger and darker of the two U.S. Navy models is serial number 102999 and a missing hand. The smaller and nicer of the U.S. Navy models has a screw-in movement retaining ring, nice silver dial and movement serial number 34162. This clock ticks when wound. One of the Chelsea clocks has a movement by Boston Clock Co., its predecessor, with serial number 27815B All three are missing glass.
