Here's an extraordinary little Chelsea ship's wheel desk clock with a ship's bell movement for your consideration. This model was introduced by Chelsea in 1937The "Vanderbilt" name has a connotation of wealth attached to it. Can't you just imagine this little clock sitting perhaps on the corner of a small writing desk in the Commodore's mansion... or yours?
Physical: The yellow brass case, which measures 7" high with a 3.75" silvered dial, has recently been polished and re-lacquered to preserve its sheen. It is in excellent overall physical condition.
Mechanical: The eight-day ship's bell movement was recently overhauled by a professional watchmaker. It is in excellent mechanical condition and the ship's bell feature works correctly.
Comments: Very clean little clock; ready for years of great service for you. Call or e-mail to start the process!

Here is a beautiful Chelsea ship's bell clock in a bronze finish with full wood back and base with serial number that matches the date of the movement serial number. Its date of manufacture was about 1928. According to Demeter, this model was called "Yacht Wheel" prior to 1928, at which point, for marketing purposes, it was renamed "Mariner" to distinguish it from the model without a base.
Physical: The statuary bronze case on a mahogany base measures 12"w x 14"h x 5"d. The 4.5" diameter silvered dial is original to the clock and in excellent physical condition. This particular dial with raised numerals and fancy hands was called the "Special Grand" version. It is signed "Chelsea ~ Boston USA" and "Ship's Bell". Incredible dial...
Mechanical: The eight-day, ship's bell signed Chelsea movement has been recently cleaned and lubricated and is in excellent running condition. The serial number is 182650 and its date can be confirmed from the table on the Chelsea page in our Reference Library.
Comments: Wonderful, rich-colored clock, ready to go to a "good home". Yours?

Chelsea Clock Company is synonymous with the highest quality in factory clockmaking. Here is an early example for your consideration. "Base and Ball Feet" was the original name for a style that has persisted through the years in the Chelsea catalogues. In 1917 this model was renamed the "Commodore" and subsequently the "Constitution", which is still manufactured today (but with a quartz movement). This house-strike model is a fine example of their early production. The 8" dial is signed "Jaccard Jewelery Co. • Kansas City", the retailer who first sold this clock.
