Only One Available. This is a genuine and incredibly scarce U.S. Navy Boat Clock, manufactured by the Chelsea Clock Co. of Boston, Mass. It is mounted in a heavy brass case attached to a wooden base, and has a 3 1\/2\" black dial. It features hour and minute hands on the main dial, with a smaller dial for the seconds. The clock is non-working as far as we can tell, but the glass crystal in front of the dial is still retained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the clock has the hole for winding with the key, which is included! We wound it, but it only would allow winding for half of a turn, and the seconds hand did work for about 20 seconds, but then stopped. This clock requires some work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe face reads as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHELSEA CLOCK CO.    BOSTON, U.S.A.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU.S. NAVY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOAT CLOCK\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNO. 5191\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brass face unscrews so that the clock can be wound.
