1940's WW2 USN Navy Ship's Clock Seth Thomas Movement Bakelite Case D531

  

Movement is wound and working as I write this. This lot comes from a salvage contractor employee that scrapped many of the old WW2 vessels. Item is in good restorable/usable condition. Appears to be no physical damage, just surface imperfections as shown in photos. The crystal has scratches that shoul be able to be buffed out.

Can you just imagine the story of this clock. The things it saw and the Battles or Actions it was in during WW2 and the Korean War. My Dad might have seen this clock when he was transported during the service!

Item comes as pictured, nothing more, nothing less. (All measurement are approximate for comparison purposes only). Seth Thomas Outside Bezel Ring...........................

6-3/4 Back Plate Mounting Surface.......... Yes Note: All measurements approximate. I will be listing many other WW2 US Navy items that are a rare offering. There are many parts that will match to my other listings, or to complete your clock's missing parts. Please take a look at all the photos for condition and check out our other store listings!

I remember as a kid being dragged into my great uncle George Gooseman's clock museum in Colorado Springs under the watchful eye of the grand Pike's Peak Mountain. His building was just off 24 Highway in an out of place blue and white striped metal building.

It was close to the flourishing, but now gone, Van Briggle's pottery shop and the "Ghost town" tourist spot. Upon entering the doors, the strange blending aroma of older wood and mechanical parts greeted the nostrils in the same manner as the methodical ticking greeted the ears.

As one would walk down the hallway to the main open room, the heartbeat of the building grew more intense. Upon turning the last corner of the walkway to finally meet the source of the sound, the sight was incredible with motion and movement as hundreds of clocks were still telling their story of an era quickly passing in time.... It was that love of the creativity and ingenuity of our American inventors and their products that got me started in collecting and sharing antiques, vintage watches, and marvelous clocks. We are now hoping to share that excitement with you, as you would not be looking at this page unless you had some of those same interests.
