WONDERFUL OLD WIND UP CLOCK WITH "U.S.L.H. SERVICE" ON THE FACE-MILITARY SHIPS CLOCK

THIS IS A WONDERFUL OLD WIND UP CLOCK. THE FACE IS BRASS AND IS MARKED WITH THE MAKER "CHELSEA CLOCK CO. BOSTON USA" AND "U.S.L.H." SERVICE. SOME THINK THE USLH WAS UNITED STATES LIGHT HOUSE, BUT IT MAY BE A NAVY SHIPS CLOCK. THESE CLOCKS WERE VERY WELL MADE AND PERCISE. THIS ON IS MISSING THE FRONT GLASS AND BRASS RING THAT HOLDS IT. THE CLOCK SEEMS COMPLETE. WE DID NOT TRY TO WIND THE CLOCK WITHOUT INSPECTION. IT MEASURES 5 3/4 INCHES ACROSS THE BACK MOUNTING PLATE. THIS IS A PIECE OF NAVAL HISTORY AND WE THING FROM WW II. JUST THE FACE PLATE HAS GREAT VALUE AND INTEREST AS AN HISTORICAL ITEM. THE BACK HAS A SERIAL NUMBER "93163" ALONG WITH THE CHELSEA MARK THAT MATCHES THE FRONT DIAL MARK
