<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boring Mysteries, post: 9421751, member: 80794&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>My mystery today relates to a clock my dad has had as far back as I can remember, which I always loved looking at and wondered about. He said it&#039;s nothing special. </p><p><br /></p><p>My main question for the thread is, have you ever come across Gibraltar ship clocks in a material other than wood? I have a hell of a time finding any online, they all look like the same model as this one with the main difference being they have a wooden base and look less ornate. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the clock:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432717[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432718[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I enlisted the help of a relative to take these photos as I live very far from where my family lives, the only issue with that being I can&#039;t hold it and feel how heavy it is, get a better look at the material, etc. I remember it being heavy and appearing ceramic to me as a child, but of course...I was a child. It does seem to be some sort of metal but I can&#039;t say. It also kind of looks like chalkware to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, here&#039;s a closeup photo of the back. I did edit this quite a bit to make it easier to read...I&#039;m not physically there so this is the best I&#039;ve got.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]432719[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, apologies if this is in the wrong forum - I wasn&#039;t sure where clock discussion goes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
