Presented is a very rare, vintage,U.S. Navy 12/24 hour engine room bulkhead clock, Serial No. 466580, produced by Chelsea Clock Company during the WW II period. This is a n 11 jewel, 8 day movement, although we find that it runs for almost two weeks on a single wind. For best time keeping, it is best to wind these clocks once a week.

and back view

The serial number dates it from 1940-1944. It is housed in a black phenolic case with a black face and clear white numbering, and is in pristine condition. Metal shortages and scarcity during the war mandated that the clocks for the military during this period switched from the bronze & brass cases to phenolic.
