Clock #7053

Chelsea Desk Clock

Typical of Chelsea quality, this clock has a solid bronze case with a gilt finish. There is a bit of oxidation to the finish but no more so than you would expect.

It has a signed silvered dial which is perfect with raised brass numerals and gilt hands. The movement is signed and has a serial number of 633948 which dates it to about 1957.

This is an 8 day timepiece and it is in good running order. 5 ½" wide.

Clock #7054

Chelsea deck clock.

Although this is a real Chelsea dial and everything seems to fit together properly, I have doubts about this clock. I could find no serial number on the case and the movement had a serial number ground off, though that looks as though it was done at the factory.

The movement does not look like Chelsea quality. The case is a good quality cast brass and it clearly is of the correct age. It is now mounted on a mahogany stand.

In any event, it has a good look, the dial is in good shape and it is running. 6" dial, 7 ½" diameter.

Seth Thomas Ships Clock

Solid brass case with the original finish and normal wear. One spoke needs a bolt to tighten it into the case. It has a 24 hour signed silvered dial in excellent condition and it has the original hands.

This is an 8 day clock and it is running but the gong is missing. It would strike ship's bell time.

I think this clock dates to the 1970's. 9" in diameter with a 4" dial.

Lux Bobbing Bird Clock.

Lux produced many models on this theme. Some have eyes that move, some wag their tails etc. and some of the rare ones have become fairly valuable.

In this model the case is made to look like a cuckoo clock and the bird bobs in and out of the door as the pendulum swings. Over the years I have gathered several of the two models shown here so you can purchase more than one if you wish.

The make great gifts for that young person and they might just start a collecting passion. My daughter still has her Lux collection 20 years after she got them. This one is 8" tall overall. $45.

Seth Thomas engine room or deck clock.

This has an unpolished sheet brass case with a bayonet style of bezel mounting. The silvered dial and seconds have discoloration but the numerals are clear.

The hands have been replaced. On the side of the case at the numeral VIII is a slot, the former function of which I cannot determine.

Clock #6058

French carriage clock.

This clock has a nice clean case with no tarnish, dents or damage and all five beveled glasses are also just about perfect. It has an unsigned porcelain dial with one cracked area at the lower right corner. The blued steel hands are original.

This is an 8 day timepiece movement with the original cylinder platform escapement. I have checked the escapement closely and there are no problems but it will run only a short time before it stops so it is overdue for a cleaning.

Nice larger size at 6 ¾" tall with handle.
