I don't know anything about ship's clocks. I am just a sucker for a fusee movement with retaining power. This was not expensive....can it be repaired (escapement)????? Missing case screws, second hand, bezel knob.

Chris, looks like a good ships clock. You should find yourself a watch repairman to work on the escapement. There won't likely be an off the shelf replacement for it. Well worth restoring.

Yeah Harold, I will have to get a good watch person. I think the balance staff is broken. Anybody who wants to can PM me.

Missing case screws, second hand, bezel knob. I just had one of my marine chronometers repaired by Dewey Clark, at Historic Timekeepers. Google it if you're interested.

The clock came back fine, for a reasonable price.
