This Exceptional Clock Has Been Sold. Thank you!   SETH THOMAS LARGE 11 JEWEL SHIP'S BELL 8 DAY CLOCK No. 66 - Ca 1948   Seth Thomas has been noted for its ship's clocks for well over 100 years, and in its early days, was the sole provider to the U.S. Navy STAND INCLUDED ~ A $75.00 VALUE Presented is a very rare, vintage, eight day, 11 Jewel movement, striking bell clock whose design introduction dates to 1921, and this one with a movement signed and dated, 1948. It is the first we've had in this larger size, making it very rare and suitable for presentation as an important gift. The No. 115 movement closely resembles, and is the equal of Chelsea's similar Ship's Bell design, but with the added feature of the Seth Thomas patented self-correcting rack and snail ship's bell striking design. It is housed in a very heavy, forged bronze case with screw on bezel. It should not be mistaken for clocks of lesser quality such as the more ubiquitous Merrimack, Mayflower, Helmsman or Corsair models, or those with a German movement. Partial left side view 11 Jewel 8 day bell movement RECENT SERVICE: The clock has been just serviced by a master clock smith, and the movement is keeping good time and rings ships' bells in sequence loudly, with a deep throaty resonance and an authoritative tone that is second to none. This early version was the top of the Seth Thomas line, and will make a suitable gift or worthy of inclusion in a collection of fine marine clocks SPECIFICATIONS: Forged bronze case with screw on, moisture resistant bezel. The six inch face has a five and one half inch viewable area. The acid etched silver plated dial has  Arabic numerals and Copperplate lettering filled in black enamel.
