Chelsea Ships Bell House Chime Clock Ship's
SOLD $2,777.00 Sold: Apr 20, 2025 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
This listing is for a very rare "house chime" Chelsea Bell clo ck. That is, it chimes 1 to 12 times at the top of the hour for each hour and once at the bottom of the hour for every 1/2 hour. The winding sequence lasts for about 8 days. It is the only Chelsea Bell Clock that I have seen. Almost all others are Ships Bell with the Maritime watch sequence.The high gloss lacquered brass finish is in good condition while the face dial has a couple of small marks (see photos).The stamped wooden base is hard to read but matches the movement number of 135818 which, according to Chelsea, dates the clock to about 1915. The clock also has the preferred serpentine hands, raised numbers, hinged bezel and solid brass Commodores base. It runs well and keeps good time. A winding key is included. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
