Presented is a Seth Thomas U.S.
Navy clock that was typically mounted on a bulkhead, on a ship’s bridge, quarter deck, or in a wardroom.
It has a 6″ silvered brass dial, a 5 1/2” viewing area with Arabic numerals, and is housed
in a heavy, forged, nickel plated bronze case. The case is fitted with a hinged right opening bezel.
It is of pre World War Two vintage. The black spade hands are over a very large second’s dial which is
in place of the numeral six. “Made by Seth Thomas in U.S.A.”, is below the large seconds dial. A lever type fast/slow
regulator is near the 9 position.

 

The movement is a Lever No. 6, 11-jeweled, 8 day time-only movement, that was
especially made to compete with Chelsea. It is running well. The stand shown is included.
