You see them rarely here: https://www.chelseaclock.com/style/vintage-clocks-collectionThe quartz versions are available in the standard 6 inch size and the 8.5 inch size here: https://www.chelseaclock.com/style/patriot-collectionSign up for email notifications, they have at least two sales a year for 20% off.Mechanical clocks are costly but collectors love them.  You can end spending nearly the price of a quartz clock in maintaining your mechanical clock if you're not lucky, on the other hand, I have a deck clock that I picked up in Taiwan at a fellow's shop who is know to deal fairly with seamen and bought it for $50.00 USD and it is within 15 seconds a month and it's been that way for 35 years that I've had it.73DR
