Just got this. An early US Navy deck clock. Rare to find a US Navy clock with the ships name on it. This clock was sold by Ashton valve co. They made gauges for engine rooms. The company made the cases but used clock movements made by Chelsea, Seth Thomas, E. Howard clock companies. This clock has a Chelsea movement and made for the tugboat USS Wando. The clock from around 1917 is 10-inch case and an 8-inch dial. The USS Wando was a US Navy tugboat used in WW1 and WW2 and was on both coast of the USA.
