Antique Sestrel Marine key wind clock from the Alva Cape oil tanker
Antique Sestrel Marine key wind clock, clock is in good condition overall with the face lettering having faded, still able to make out all letters but they are light, it has Marine Nautical Supplies London under the center post, it looks to be from the Oil Tanker the Alva Cape that was scuttled in 1966 after colliding with another ship in a New York harbor, the Alva Cape had over 4,000,000 gallons of Naptha on board, much of it spilled, 33 people died from the accident. Very cool clock with a known history. No key included, unable to test.
