Original Item: Only One Available. This is a stunning example of a Pre-WWII (Circa 1930s) Seth Thomas Ships Clock marked U.S. Coast Guard.
NOTE: We wound this clock up and allowed it to run for approximately one hour. It kept good time when it was running, and was functioning properly. However, there is no warranty for this clock and returns for a non-working watch will not be honored. Please note all clocks are wound and tested then recorded on video before shipment. We are not in the repair business- ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
These types of ship clocks were the common clock that was typically mounted on a bulkhead on a ship’s bridge, quarter deck, or in a wardroom. It has a 6 inch black over brass dial with a 5 1/2” viewing area, and heavy forged bronze case of Pre-World War Two vintage which is the standard deck clock case of that era. The case measures 7 3/4" in diameter, with a height of 2 5/8". The spade hands hands are gun metal black with iridescent green points. The sweep second hand is the same. A lever type fast/slow regulator is at the 9 O’clock position.
All the numerals are marked for black-out recognition by round luminous dots on the outside, which are unfortunately no longer active. It is fitted with a screw on bezel and the forged bronze case is hand polished.
Nicely marked “Made by Seth Thomas in U.S.A.”, is silk screened below the “6“ o’clock position. “U.S. Coast Guard” is above the center arbor. There are no numbers or marks on the back of the case. Comes with the original winding key.
