Chelsea Oak Wall Clock

[Raymond Rice]

At a recent auction, I picked up 5 clocks, two keepers and 3 for stock. This one is a Chelsea wall clock, in oak. The works are marked "Chelsea Clock Co. Boston" and the serial number appears to be 38660 which I think dates it the 1904-1910 period? Everything seems to be original with the exception of the dial which is an accurate appearing replacement. (I would much prefer for it to have the original dial, but the replacement is certainly acceptable from a few feet away.) The original 7 1/2 # weight, complete tie-down, pendulum, and installation instructions are present. Its been running for a day and seems to be a decent timekeeper.

I'm curious about what the model number is for this clock?

Well, I just read the installation instructions, and its clear that Chelsea called this the "Pendulum No 1 Clock"

It looks like the "Pendulum No.1" model. Antique Clock Details (antiqueclockspriceguide.com)

Is it possible the NY Board of Education purchased these clocks and had their name placed on the dial from the factory? Here's its sister?

Definitely, if you Google "Board of Education NYC clock", ypu will find a lot of info and pictures of a B of E repair shop with a wall full of these clocks.

Great looking clock.

Thanks Kevin, I like it and plan to keep this one. My wife gave me the stink eye when she saw it hanging on the living room wall, there fore my plan may be subject to change.

Beautiful timepiece Raymond. I love the Boston models. I have a Howard 70 and recently purchased a Boston wall clock that will be delivered to me soon. I’m looking to purchase both Chelsea models. If your wife gets tired of it, call me!

Thank you! Wifey has a short attention span (only concerning clocks), so I think I'll keep it for awhile.
