This was years ago when prices were better, I sold it for what I paid at the time 700 bucks. To a guy in ...

Here is how it might have looked in a engine room from the book Chelsea first 100 years. Being a Tugboat maybe not as fancy. The USS Wando was named after an Indian tribe from the east coast.

This was most likely an engine room clock Ashton Valve Co. made gauges the size of this clock. The gauge was most likely hooked up to the boiler in the engine room.

Your right I never sell anything been years since I let anything go. Think the last thing I let go was a vintage Benthos 500 and that was a trade for a vintage Sinn 103 with a bund sweep hands and hand wind movement from a member here.

Well mine needed more than just the crown just got it back from Jack. Jack said the movement was tired not no more.

Just back from service just before Christmas took two watchmakers the first did give a refund then off to Jack, new balance, mainspring and a few other parts and fixing one of the hands so the lume don't flack off and get into the movement glad to have it back.

Here is mine just the wrong crystal on yours.
