I was given a Chelsea ships clock, all brass, key wind, with the ship's
bell chimes for my birthday thirty years ago. Was thinking about getting
it regularized and looked it up. The darned thing is worth about
$1200.00 nowadays. I should have saved my bell bottom pants and the
blousy sleeved shirts from the sixties. I could probably retire
someplace nice. <G>
