CHELSEA
U.S. ARMY MESSAGE CENTER CLOCK
Dating from 1955-1949 Post WW II Period
Presented is a fine vintage U.S. Army Message Center 12/24 hour bulkhead clock, produced by Chelsea Clock Company in the mid to late fifties. This fine clock has been mounted in a walnut wood carrying case. This is an 11-jewel, 8-day movement, although we find that it runs for almost two weeks on a single wind. For best timekeeping, it is best to wind these clocks once a week. The movement Serial No.624258 dates to from 1955 to 1959.

The excellence of Chelsea clocks is well established, having been in production of the finest clocks since 1897. It is always a privilege to be able to offer these fine examples produced for the U.S. Army.
This fine clock is in excellent – like new condition with a 12/24 hour face and sweep second hand. The recently polished bronze case is in pristeen condition, and the engraved number of the movement on the back plate is the first movement in this clock. The clock is keeping excellent time and had been recently cleaned and serviced. It will make a worthy and memorable gift for anyone with an Army or U.S. military connection or interest.
