Of course, Chelsea made other case styles, and, besides the ship's bells that we talked
about or the banjo's that you saw a couple of clips ago. The, the catalogs are reproduced
in part, in some of those Tran Duy Ly Books that we've talked about. But, another nice
thing about collecting Chelsea clocks, is that either the original catalogs are available,
or reprints of those have been made available by collector's, or by some of, some interested
organizations related to clocks, so that you can find how your clock was described year's
ago, when it was first made. The, this was a, a nineteen seventeen catalog, in which
you can find "mul", all of the models shown at that time. And, even more important, how
much they cost. These were not inexpensive clocks. Even back then, ship's bells clocks,
big ones, they could be thirty, forty, fifty, eighty dollars, which was a lot of money in
those days. So, these clocks were not meant for working class families, as much as, either
for a ship applications or people who had more money. This nineteen eleven catalog reprint;
this is an original Chelsea clock company catalog from the nineteen thirties. So,you
see some of the evolution. You see some styles that they made, and then gave up on. But they
never stopped making the popular models, the ship's bells.
