LARGE 11 JEWEL
SHIP’S BELL
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, 9 – 1948. It
is only the second 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 has the added special 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.

of inclusion in a collection of fine marine clocks
