HAMILTON MOD 21 MARINE CHRONOMETER With UP-DOWN INDICATOR RUNNING IN ORIGINAL CASE
THIS IS A GREAT NEW JERSEY AREA ESTATE OFFERING FOR A MECHANICAL MARITIME TIMEPIECE COLLECTOR. AN EARLY TO MID 20TH CENTURY HAMILTON MODEL 21 HIGH GRADE 14 JEWEL MARINE CHRONOMETER / MARITIME CLOCK WITH AN UP/DOWN POWER RESERVE INDICATOR. THE CLOCK COMES IN THE CORRECT ORIGINAL HAMILTON WOODEN CASE WITH BRASS HARDWARE. THE WOOD HAS A DOUBLE LID. THE TOP LID REVEALS A CLEAR GLASS BEZEL TO VIEW THE DIAL. THE BOTTOM LID LIFTS TO GET TO THE CLOCK MOVEMENT FOR WINDING, SERVICE, ETC… THE CLOCK BRACKET IS FULLY GIMBALLED FOR MOTION AT SEA. THE CLOCK IS SIGNED ON THE DIAL, MOVEMENT AND CASE. IT HAS A METALLIC SILVER DIAL WITH ARABIC NUMERALS. IT COMES WITH THE CORRECT ORIGINAL HEAVY SOLID BRASS WINDING KEY. I WOUND THE CLOCK AS SOON AS IT WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ESTATE AGENT. THE KEY WINDS THE CLOCK UP SMOOTH. IT CAME RIGHT TO LIFE AND RAN SMOOTH ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WINDING W/O STOPPING. THE CLOCK KEPT EXCELLENT TIME ALL DAY LONG TOO. THE UP/DOWN SUB-REGISTER WORKS PERFECTLY. THE DIAL IS TRULY SUPER BRIGHT & CLEAN WITH A FEW MINUTE MINOR SPOTS. THE REFLECTOR RING IS CLEAN & BRIGHT. THE THICK BEVELED EDGE GLASS CRYSTAL IS CLEAN & CLEAR. THE REAR DUST COVER PLATE IS STILL SPRING LOADED & SNAPS BACK INTO THE CLOSED POSITION WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM WINDING STEM. THE GIMBLE IS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. THE GIMBLE LOCK BAR WORKS PERFECTLY TOO. THE BRASS CASING & GIMBLE ASSEMBLY ARE CLEAN. NOTHING IS BENT UP, STRIPPED OUT, CRACKED, LOOSE, SEIZED UP, MODIFIED OR REPAIRED. THE WOOD CASE IS COMPLETE, ALL ORIGINAL, TIGHT & STRAIGHT. THE WOOD FINISH OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME DEEP SCRATCHES HERE & THERE FROM AGE & USE. THE TOP LID GLASS BEZEL IS NOT CRACKED OR FOGGED UP. BOTH LIDS OPEN AND CLOSE FINE. THE HINGES & CLASPS WORK FINE. THE TOP LID SUPPORT ARM WORKS FINE TO KEEP THE TOP LID UP. YOU’RE SEEING THE TIMEPIECE FRESH OUT OF THE ESTATE. IT WAS FOUND STORED IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED PART OF THE HOME (DISPLAYED IN A LIVING ROOM CABINET). THE TIMEPIECE WAS NOT FOUND IN A WET BASEMENT OR OUTSIDE STORAGE. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP, SERVICED, OILED OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. THE CLOCK WAS SIMPLY WOUND UP & MY OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE FOR THE DESCRIPTION. IT’S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS A PRE-OWNED VINTAGE MECHANICAL MARITIME TIMEPIECE FOR DISPLAY IN A COLLECTION. THE CLOCK IS NOT BEING OFFERED AS A WARRANTED EXACT CALIBRATED CERTIFIED ACCURATE TIMEPIECE FOR ACTUAL MODERN MARITIME NAVIGATION USE. THIS IS SIMPLY DUE TO AGE. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. I PLAN ON REMOVING THE HEAVY BRASS CLOCK FROM THE WOOD CASE & PACKING IT SEPARATELY TO ASSURE SAFETY. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION. IF I MADE NO GROSS ERRORS, THE ITEM IS AN ESTATE FINAL SALE WITH NO RETURN. THIS IS MERELY DUE TO THE ITEMS BEING ANTIQUES / VINTAGE / PRE-OWNED. PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE THE ITEM ENDS. I TRY TO TEST ALL WIND UP, ELECTRIC, MECHANICAL TYPE ITEMS & WATCHES AS BEST AS I CAN BEFORE LISTING. I THEN DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE WHEN THE ITEMS ARE BEING LISTED. ALL VINTAGE TOYS, MODEL TRAINS & HOBBY ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED FOR ADULT COLLECTORS / MODELERS / HOBBYISTS / BUILDERS. THEY ARE NOT BEING OFFERED AS WARRANTED SAFETY CERTIFIED CHILD’S TOYS FOR PLAY USE. MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATE HOMES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SMELLS “OLD” TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT “SMELLS LIKE 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 SMOKING GOING ON AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER. I DO NOT SIMPLY CANCEL “ORDERS”. THEY ARE OUTBIDDING MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO GET THE ITEM THEY ARE NOT PAYING. 99% OF THE TIME, IT’S WITHIN A DAY TO TWO. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. ALSO, I DO NOT OFFER LOCAL PICK-UP AT ALL DUE TO A HORRIFIC BUSINESS SCHEDULE. ANYWHERE ON THE BOX OR ADDRESS LABEL.
