501.     $100

Seth Thomas “Engine Lever” ca. 1910.  I believe this is an early (WWI) vintage ship’s clock, only 4.75 inches in diameter with a 3-inch silvered dial in a brass case with a screw bezel and a seconds bit.  It is smaller than any ship’s clock shown in Ly’s books on Seth Thomas clocks.  Engine lever means time only, screw bezel indicates waterproof. The dial shows scratching and oxidation and is labeled “U.S. Navy Boat Clock”.  I did not inspect the movement, but it is running. $100-$200.
