EARLY 1900s U. S. NAVY CHELSEA 4 5/8 DECK CLOCK / SMALL SHIP’S CLOCK SER# 698
THIS IS AN EARLY 1900s U. IT HAS A BRASS CASING & METAL DIAL WITH ROMAN NUMERALS. THE DIAL IS MARKED AS US NAVY & SER# 698. IT HAS A THREADED BEZEL RING & GLASS CRYSTAL. THE BEZEL RING MEASURES APPROX. 4 5/8 IN DIAMETER. IT IS A SINGLE KEY WIND. THE CLOCK WAS MOUNTED A LONG TIME AGO ON A DECORATIVE OCTAGONAL WOODEN WALL PLAQUE. THERE IS AN OLD CLOCK SHOP CLEANING / SERVICE DECAL ON THE BACK. THE WALL PLAQUE MEASURES APPROX. 7 5/8 IN DIAMETER. THE CLOCK IS COMPLETE & ALL ORIGINAL. I USED MY OWN TEST KEY TO WIND THE CLOCK UP BEFORE LISTING. IT RAN FOR APPROX. 3 HOURS, THEN STOPPED. I CAN HEAR THE BALANCE TICK A FEW BEATS INSIDE WHEN THE CLOCK IS SLOWLY TURNED IN MY HAND, BUT IT IS NOT RUNNING. THE CLOCK MAY JUST NEED TO BE CLEANED & LUBRICATED. I DO NOT KNOW. I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANYTHING APART. THE CLOCK RAN FORA FEW HOURS FOR ME, BUT IT IS BEING OFFERED AS NOT RUNNING FOR RESTORATION. THE CASING IS NOT BENT, DENTED UP, WARPED, ROTTED, CRACKED OR BADLY BEAT UP. THE BEZEL THREADS STILL TURN MACHINE SMOOTH. THE DIAL IS NOT ROTTED. THE CRYSTAL IS NOT CRACKED OR FOGGED UP. THE WOOD WALL PLAQUE IS NOT CRACKED OR BEAT UP. I HAVE NOT POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. IT’S BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES AS AN ANTIQUE PRE-OWNED MILITARY MARITIME CLOCK FOR A COLLECTION. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. 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 OVER 13 YEARS. YOU ARE SEEING ITEMS 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 YOU SEE HERE ARE NOT BEING OFFERED LOCALLY AT THE SAME TIME. 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. ALSO, I TO 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 LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE PHONY 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. 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 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, AND I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO WAY TO PREDICT HOW LONG A VINTAGE/ ANTIQUE / PRE-OWNED MECHANICAL ITEM OR WATCH WILL CONTINUE TO WORK. PLEASE NOTE: MANY OF MY ITEMS COME FROM BEING STORED IN OLD ESTATES FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE NO IDE WHAT SMELLS “OLD” TO SOMEONE, OR WHAT SMELLS LIKE TOBACCO SMOKE TO SOMEONE. 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. THIS WILL COST A GOOD BIT MORE THAN NORMAL UPS GROUND IN THE LOWER 48 STATES. I GENERALLY CANNOT ALLOW PICK-UPS DUE TO BUSY BUSINESS SCHEDULING. The item “EARLY 1900s U. S.
