Just bought this on EBay been wanting a WW1 US Naval deck clock for a while since my Grandfather was in the US Navy in WW1 and WW2. This was made in 1918 and the serial numbers match on the movement and brass case so unmolested clock. Chelsea company still around today and you can get archive letters for 35 bucks will order one for mine. There is also a US naval observatory number on the dial they put on after testing it before issuing it to a ship just like on a WW1 US Navy Waltham boxed chronometer I have.
