[CW] Ship Radio Room clock

[Rick Dettinger]

The ebay listing was for a comparing watch.
My wife and I bought a Chelsea ships bell clock and matching barometer when I retired, kind of a present.  It is a windup watch clock, as in its "two bells in the Dog Watch".
These currently go for about $2K.  Made in US, the same way for over a Century.  The bells sound like musical instruments.  These may be the last wind up clocks made in US.
