Original Item: Only One Available. This is a stunning example of a Pre-WWII Seth Thomas Ships Clock marked U.S. Navy.
NOTE: We wound this clock up and allowed it to run for approximately one hour. It kept good time when it was running, and was functioning properly. However, there is no warranty for this clock and returns for a non-working watch will not be honored. Please note all clocks are wound and tested then recorded on video before shipment. We are not in the repair business- ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
These types of ship clocks were the common clock that was typically mounted on a bulkhead on a ship’s bridge, quarter deck, or in a wardroom. It has a 6 inch silver over brass dial with a 5 1/2” viewing area, and heavy forged bronze case of Pre-World War Two vintage which is the standard deck clock case of that era. The case measures 7 3/4" in diameter, with a height of 2 5/8". The spade hands are gunmetal black with blackout points. The sweep second hand is the same. A lever type fast/slow regulator is at the 12 O’clock position.
All the numerals are marked for black-out recognition by round luminous dots on the outside, which are unfortunately no longer active. It is fitted with a screw on bezel and the forged bronze case is hand polished.
Nicely marked “Made by Seth Thomas in U.S.A.”, is silk screened below the “6“ o’clock position. “U.S. NAVY” is above the center arbor. Comes with the original winding key. Comes ready to be displayed.
