WW1 Chelsea US Navy Pilot House Clock

Well after seeing the quality of the US Shipping Board Pilot House Clock, I saw a US Navy pilot House Clock for sale. Had make offer got it lower more than I wanted to pay. Should get it this week. Its second hand on the bottom of the dial instead of the top like the US Shipping board clock. It was missing a metal ring that goes around the edge of the dial called a reflector I found one and ordered it for the clock so I can repair that. Think I am done with ships clocks that quality of these nothing will top it.

Seller's photos it's in great shape you can see the metal ring missing that should be along the edge of the dial. Made around-1919 just after WW1. This were mostlikely on Battle Ships in the Pilot House or Officers wardroom.

You are getting a really nice collection of clocks assembled.
Good effort!

Another stunner!

What a delight that one is,a bit of brasso and it will gleam.

Received it today nicer in person. There was a piece missing called a reflector a circle piece of metal along the edge of the dial was able to find one should get that next week.

You can see the heft to these Pilot House Clocks look at the heavy-duty hinge on the case.

Very,very nice indeed,shouldnt it have slotted screws?

I put the wooden plaque on so I can hang it on the wall so why the modern screws all the hardware store had.

Well got the reflector part for the clock.

And a photo of the USS New Mexico BB-40 wardroom with a pilot house clock on the bulkhead. Officers always ate better than us enlisted.

That is a stunner.

I always enjoy your posts something positive to look at and a nice little story as well.


Edit

I forgot to ask a few questions.

How is the time keeping and has it a noisy ticking?

Not that noisy the Chelsea deck clocks have the lease amount out of all my deck clocks. Like a faint tick. Pendulum clocks have the most noise out of all my clocks.
