It keeps perfect time. The ships bell rings out beautifully.Serial # 790973. The clock comes with the original key which winds both the time and the chimes. Also included are the original small book of directions. I have contacted the Chelsea Clock Company in Chelsea Massachusetts, and they report this clock retails currently for between $2400 and $3000, perhaps more, as it comes with the original mahogany stand. For sale by original owner. Note: The bells ring a few minutes ahead of the hour. The Chelsea Clock Company feels that this could be corrected easily by them as well as a cleaning, for $300 to $400.
