SEE ALL PHOTOS &. THIS IS A GREAT WASHINGTON DC AREA ESTATE OFFERING FOR A VINTAGE MARITIME CLOCK COLLECTION. IT’S WOOD WITH BRASS HARDWARE. THE BOX IS DOUBLE LIDDED. THE TOP LID LIFTS TO SEE THE FACE UNDER GLASS WITHOUT OPENING THE ENTIRE BOX. THE LOWER LID ALLOWS ACCESS TO THE UNIT INSIDE FOR WINDING, SETTING, CLEANING, REPAIR, ETC… THE BOX RETAINS A COMPLETE & SUPER CLEAN ADJUSTABLE BRASS GIMBAL ASSEMBLY MOUNTED INSIDE – SEE PHOTOS. THE WIDTH OF THE BRASS GIMBAL RING IS A THIN HAIR UNDER 5 3/8. THE BOX MEASURES APPROX. 8 3/16″ SQUARE X 7 5/8″ TALL. THE BOX IS COMPLETE, TIGHT AND VERY CLEAN FOR IT’S AGE. THE WOOD FINISH IS STILL BRIGHT & SHINY W/ A FEW SURFACE SCRATCHES HERE & THERE. BOTH LIDS ARE ROCK SOLID AT THE HINGES. THE MAIN LID HINGE SUPPORT ARM IS RIGHT SOLID. THE LID DOES NOT FLOP ALL THE WAY OPEN. THE TOP LID VIEWING GLASS PANE IS NOT CRACKED OR FOGGED UP. THE GIMBAL UNIT INSIDE IS NOT BENT, STRIPPED OUT, SEIZED UP, MODIFIED OR ROTTED. IT’S VERY CLEAN. THE BOX INTERIOR IS NOT ROTTED OR CAKED WITH DUST. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. I HOPE THIS BOX GOES TO A GOOD COLLECTION. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I DO NOT DO PICK-UPS AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULING. ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST ESTATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL ESTATE PERSONAL PROPERTY CONSIGNMENT & LIQUIDATION LLC FOR 15 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS BROUGHT TO ME RIGHT OUT OF THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS, POLISH UP ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE ITEM. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IT’S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. THE ITEMS LISTED HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. IE: IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP. MY AUCTIONS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN HYPE WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. SOMETIMES ITEMS DIE AND SOMETIMES THEY DO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OFFER. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN AND/OR TAKE CARE OF A PROBLEM IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TEST ALL WIND UP TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LISTING THEM. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I OBSERVE. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS “OLD” TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT “SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE” TO SOMEONE. MOST OF THE ITEM I OFFER ARE OLD. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY SMOKED BACK THEN. SOME OF MY ITEMS SAT FOR DECADES IN OLD ESTATE HOMES WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY TOBACCO SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.
