Sailor-made Vintage Seashell Long Case Clock

Early 2nd half of 20th century

The shell-decorated clock consists of two pieces the hood and the body of the clock-both with a wood base.  The body was decorated with a selection of different seashells.  The clock by repute was made in Gray, Maine by a local sailor and was sold to the last owner forty years ago.  The movement is now mechanical. Because of the height, we secure the clock at the back to the wall by a wire.
