Seth Thomas “Corsair”, ca. 1962.  “A genuine sea-going ship’s bell striking clock”, as described in the catalog.  Ship’s bells, if you are a landlubber like me, make no sense whatsoever and just seem to strike random patterns at any time.  The 5.75-inch case is in bright chrome with a silvered dial, and everything looks like new.  The dial screws on and off to set the time and has a waterproof seal.  The 7-jewel 8-day movement is running and striking at will.  I do not have a proper key for the clock but will include a 5-pronged winder that will work.  There is a name sticker on the back, and both the case and dial are signed.  The Corsair had an optional base for an additional $10.95 if you did not plan on mounting it on your boat.  Page 763 of Ly’s Seth Thomas Clocks & Movements, Vol. 2.  $100-$200.
