    hi everyone

    Yes. I have a few Chelsea Clocls in my collection . But this one is different . It stand about 21 inches tall and has a 8 1/2 inch dial and strikes ships Bells and is on a wooden case ( not typical of my collection all Marine brass cases ).

    According to the certificate from Chelsea it was sold on Feb 28 1920 ..

    Here are a few pics. I have a video of it striking guess I will upload it you tube and embed a link !

    Good hunting

    Bill

    Lovely collection Bill. Is the correct name for the one bottom left a 'Ship Pilot' clock or 'Ship's Bell' clock?

    Fantastic!
    But there are less expensive ways to deal with speaker cabinet resonances.
    :D:)
