Antique American Clocks
Seth Thomas "Corsair", ca. 1962.
"A genuine sea-going ship's bell striking clock", as described in
the catalog.
Ship's bells, if you are a landlubber like me, make no sense whatsoever and just seem to strike random patterns
at any time.
The 5.75-inch case is in bright chrome with a silvered dial, and everything looks like new.
The dial screws
on and off to set the time and has a waterproof seal.
The 7-jewel 8-day movement is running and striking at will.
not have a proper key for the clock but will include a 5-pronged winder that will work.
There is a name sticker on the back,
and both the case and dial are signed.
The Corsair had an optional base for an additional $10.95 if you did not plan on mounting
it on your boat.
