Well went to a auction in Montana the other day. There were three things I wanted to bid on. A WW1 Navy recruiting poster, Argentine issued air force 1911 pistol and a Chelsea ships clock. Well the poster and pistol sold more than my comfort zone and the clock would not be put up for bid until about the end of the auction after five hours I was ready to go home so put a absentee bid and put the max were I knew no body could make enough money on fleabay if they were buying it to sell and were I can get it cheaper than fleabay. Check 3 hour later on line to watch the bidding on it and I won it. A few photo's
Mite have a Seth Thomas sweep hand but it's a early Maritime commission clock from WW2. The hand mite of been changed during a service and it has a cool service sticker on the back dam from my old neck of the woods the bay area who would think I can still find this stuff were ever I live in the wild. Who knows mite of came off a Liberty ship or a Victory ship of WW2. My other maritime commission clock the serial number was blank this one has one another cool thing about this clock. One thing this clock was used as intended used as a working clock you can tell with the cool aged patina.
