I have most of them in my office and a few around the house. They have to be special and rare now for me to add one to the collection due to space. Would like to get a E. Howard US Navy deck clock those are real early US Navy deck clocks and maybe a WW2 Chelsea radio room dual time deck clock they have a cool dial, and I would be done. I was on the hunt for a while to get a deck clocks from all Allies Navies and Axis Navies took me a while US, British but was off an Australian cruiser so close, Japanese, German and Italian the Italian one looks like WW2 but might a be a little after WW2 hard to date.
