So here's a dumb question.&nbsp; My clock has silent periods marked Hans but yours doesn't.&nbsp; Did military ships not have to observe silent periods ?&nbsp; And do you think the one I posted a picture of is perhaps from a merchant marine ship ?<div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1641748265662">I love the history but I don't know it all ...yet.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1641748328197">Oh and I have a Bureau of Ships Navy comparing watch (Hamilton 2974) that has an early serial #.&nbsp; #23 made in 1940/1.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Jim N5KY<br id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1641748126457"><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aol.mobile.aolapp">Sent from the all new AOL app for Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Sun, Jan 9, 2022 at 9:31 AM, Hans Brakob</div><div>&lt;kzerohb@gmail.com&gt; wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div id="yiv0781928808"><div>

Here's a photo of a wall clock I have in the shack. Supposedly it dates to WW2 and was on a Navy ship.&nbsp; Since there's been chatter about coastal stations and such I thought I would post this photo. Note it's marked Mackay Radio. Any old timers seen a clock
 like this ??
