Description

With a serial number of #163665, this clock was made in 1924-25, so was probably the "Commodore". The perfect silver dial is 4.5 inch, signed by a Cleveland dealer and, "Chelsea Ship's Bell" below the hand arbor. 8 day, strikes ships bells on half hours, is running and striking properly. The clock is original, complete, and near perfect. Some faint spotting in the section just above the base. It could polish off, not sure. Andrew and David Demeter, Chelsea Clock Company, The First Hundred Years; Ly-American, page 81.
