Just picked up this slave clock, and was wondering if anybody can help me locate the ship it came off?
It's a brass Gents marine clock marked on the face as "Edward Glasgow - Pul-syn-etic", and the movement is marked as being inspected on 9-15-25. I assume that the clock was made for a ship called the "Edward Glasgow" or a ship called "Edward" out of Glasgow, Scotland?
Very heavy brass clock, 5" dial, and I have it running like it should (30-second pulses). Doesn't look like it ran since it was removed from the ship.
I looked on the internet, but couldn't find a ship by either name in commission around 1925.
It would be interesting to find out if the ship was a warship or passenger ship.
I have another Pul-syn-etic clock made in 1931. Very cool 12-inch cast iron clock I have hanging in my kitchen (last picture). Some of my favorite clocks.
