I recently got a bug for ship's bells and Chelsea in particular. I purchased a set, that I was told by a Chelsea expert, is a Claremont. It was pretty rough when I got it but a tremendous amount of Brasso and other cleaners applied multiple times after removal of the old lacquer produced what I think is a nice piece sitting on my mantel. What do others think?

Another of the barometer itself.

I'll try again with the image of the clock and barometer from above. This unit was purchased by the original owner in 1947. I believe it was manufactured a year or so before.

Very nice pick Mike.

I had trouble resizing this one but here is the clock part. Thanks Peter.

just the timekeeper for an Oregon sailor Mike,LOL,but it is absolutely lovely very nice job cleaning it up and I wish it were mine

Thanks Tom. You really can't appreciate how different is looks now, an, I did not take before photos. As a time keeper it seems to be very good. The chimes work well and are not too loud so it's a keeper for now.
