<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 393365, member: 84&quot;]I found this at a local estate sale over the week-end - it is a Hamilton Chronometer Model 22 that were used by the US Navy during WWII.</p><p>I paid $400 - which looking at sold prices on eBay is less than 1/2 what they sell for (it was Sunday so everything left at estate sale was 1/2 price)</p><p>It is missing a first cover on inner box (they have 2 covers seller told me), but the gimbal? box is in a rare outer box that would be screwed into ship to hold clock steady/safe during rough seas (last photo)</p><p>I wound it &amp; it has been keeping perfect time, but one side of the clock has white &amp; green tarnish; what is the best way to remove it? (googling it shows everything from Magic Eraser to vinegar to toothpaste!)</p><p>Where is the serial number located? There is a number (14093) on the clock &amp; on the bezel ring, but every serial number I&#039;ve found has a letter (usually F) in it - or is that the serial number?</p><p>Thanks all, I appreciate the help</p><p>[ATTACH=full]136571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136573[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136574[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136576[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>BOX/CASE THAT IS SCREWED INTO SHIP TO SECURE CLOCK - As rare as seller claims?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]136577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136578[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
