Presented
is a Chelsea U.S. Navy Deck
Clock No. 2, Serial Number 16316 in a heavy forged brass case with screw on bezel, mounted on an Chelsea Admiral's
stand. Both are in original “mint” condition, but the stand is not as specified by the Navy .
This very early clock has a blackened brass
dial with acid etched Arabic numerals and inscriptions in silver. Under the hands is CHELSEA CLOCK COMPANY
* BOSTON, USA and then, "U.S. NAVY, DECK CLOCK NO. 2" and
beneath, the highly sought after Naval Observatory inscription, a stylized "N" inside a circle and their serial number 1883.
The clock features large Arabic numerals with
moon style minute and hour hands, seconds bit above the 12 and early form Fast/Slow adjustment lever. The classic 4
1/2 inch dial with 8 day jeweled movement is housed within the original forged bronze case that
has a screw-on bezel measuring 5 1/4 inches in diameter. The precision, all jeweled movement and the case have
matching numbers, dating this clock to 1916. The Model K movement was fully serviced by its last owner, and is in
perfect running condition. Whomever buys this piece of maritime history and clock maker's art will have one of the best
and rarest examples in existence.
