Description
The tablets show four of the celebrated battleships that took part in the famous peace cruise around the world in 1907-8-9. This near perfect oak case is 23 inches high. On the back is a factory stamp showing this clock made in 1915. There is a full label on the back that I have never seen before. It states that this clock is a "Souvenir of the World Peace Cruise". 8 day movement strikes half hours and hours, and is running. The paper dial is original, showing years of constant use, and a small tear below the 6. Ly-Seth Thomas #1109.
