Chelsea Clock Co. “No. 1 Pendulum”, ca. 1911. A 32-inch
oak case with an old and slightly worn/faded finish and two old/original glasses. The dial is a newer replacement, the hands
are likely original. The 8-day, time-only movement is die-stamped Chelsea Clock Co. and is running without issue, driven by
a proper iron weight and regulated by an over-polished pendulum bob. There is a good weight shield and a pendulum tie-down. No label. A nice example; AAC sold a rougher example two years ago for $500, and Schmitt Horan sold a similar example in 2020
for $550. $500–$600.
