is an original Chelsea U.S.Coast Guard owned
by a former Coastie for the last 49 years, which accounts
for it’s exceptional condition. When in service, it

1/2 viewing area, and heavy forged brass case of pre World War II vintage.

case of that
era. The spade hands are buff white with a sweep second hand. A lever type fast/slow regulatoris below the 12 position which is marked for black-out recognition
by an additional round dot under
and similar dots below each numeral.

be radio active, has been
removed.

It is
fitted with a screw on bezel and
the forged brass case is highly polished and
lacquered. The movement is a 11-jeweled, 8 day
time-only movement, with a lever type regulator.

comparison watch. “Chelsea Clock Company,
Boston.”, is acid-etched below the 6
o’clock position. “U.S. Coast Guard” is below
the center arbor. The back of the case is marked
with the maker’s name and a later number. The antique
