Chelsea Clock Company Ship's Bell Striking Mantel Clock, Serial 98,965. circa 1915.

A rare early 20 th century cast bronze mantle clock with ship's striking by the Chelsea Clock Company. Listed as the Porter model in the January 1931 Chelsea catalogue it has the serial number, Nr.98,965 stamped on the standard eight-day ship's striking lever movement, the bronze case and the carved ebonized mahogany stand. The 8.5in. silvered surface dial is the Special Dial and has raised bronzed Arabic numbers for the hours and bronzed ornamental hands. This particular piece is even nicer than the models listed in the catalogue since it has a carved ebonized stand rather than the plain mahogany found on most examples. Although listed as slightly larger in the '31 catalogue, we believe this to be the largest size circa 1915 in which this model was sold. It was marketed by the Chelsea Company as the perfect clock for either a regatta prize or as a clubhouse clock. Dial Size 8.5in. Overall Height 26.5in. Overall Width 20.in
