UP FORsale IS A VINTAGE BRASS SETH THOMASHELMSMAN MODEL E543-002 MADE IN SEPT 1967.

IT IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND RUNS BEAUTIFULLY WITHNO SERVICE REQUIRED.

IT KEEPS PERFECT TIME ANDIS EASILY ADJUSTABLE IF NEEDED.

THEJAPANESE JECO CORP. BATTERY POWERED MOVEMENT IS NOT A TYPICAL CHEAPQUARTZ MOVEMENT. IT IS AN OLD-FASIONED TYPE THAT HAS A KICK-START LEVER TO GET IT MOVING. I WAS A LITTLE LEARY WHEN I BOUGHT IT, WONDERING HOW IT WOULD PERFORM. I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO ANYTHING TO THIS CLOCK EXCEPT CHANGE THE BATTERY!I HAVE PERSONALLY NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS ONE, WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNIQUE.

THE CLOCK DIAMETER IS 5 3/4\". OVER-ALL ITS DIMENSSIONS ARE 10 1/2\" WIDE, 9\" TALL, AND3\" DEEP.IT WEIGHS ALMOST 4 1/2LBS.ITHAS ASCREW-TYPE WATERPROOF BEZEL.IT IS COMPLETELYORIGINAL AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

THE POLISHED BRASS CASE IS IN THE FORM OF A SHIP\'S WHEEL AND IS MOUNTED ON A THICK BLOCK OF MOHOGANY. IT HAS SOME TARNISHED AREAS TYPICAL FOR ITS AGE. YOU CAN SEE THEM IN THE PICTURES.THECLOCK FINISH COULD BE FURTHER ENHANCED WITH A GOODPOLISHING.I JUST DON\'T HAVE THE TIME.

THERE WAS A SMALL PLAQUE ATTATCHED TO IT ON THE LEFT SIDE WITH 2 SCREWS. I JUST REMOVED IT AND NEVER PATCHED THE HOLES. THE WOOD BEHIND ITIS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN SHADE.I DON\'T EVEN NOTICE THEM ANYMORE. (I AM SENDINGTHE PLAQUE ANDBRASS SCREWSWITH THE CLOCK IN CASE SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE USE THE REVERSE OF THE PLAQUE TO WRITE SOMETHING AND REATTATCH IT.)

PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR THE BEST DESCRIPTION. EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR FOR MORE PICTURES. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
