      @@jamesmartin5370 Ron from Iowa here. Good video! Today, I re-read the previous owners sale description. He found the clock on an old boat he bought. He lives in Virginia on Chesapeake Bay. That certainly confirms the clock’s long exposure to salt air. I’m so glad you were able to bring this clock back from the edge.

      Thank You,
      Owner was hoping for a quick clean and oil because it was running, but will take a restoration for this one.

      Thanks Kristy,
      I agree, this a nice collectors piece of history with the low serial number, it should clean up just fine with a little work.

    I had one of those 24-hour Navy clocks in my bedroom; I think my Dad probably bought it at a war surplus store after the war. As a boy, I had never seen a 24-hour dial like that. I think it ran and even chimed on the hour (not sure, that was over 70 years ago).
