United Clock Corp Model 811 Sailing Ship Mantel Clock with Original Box
Annihilate the landfill, tell time with nautical kitsch that actually runs
Peak mid-century Americana right here: a United Clock Corp Model 811 clipper ship, complete with its original box from Brooklyn, NY. This electric mantel clock features a mahogany-stained wood hull, chrome-plated stylized sails, ruby red jeweled port lights, and a ship's wheel clock face. Clock runs, lights work (12W with lights on per label). Some wear to wood finish and light surface scratches on chrome sails — exactly what 60+ years of keeping time looks like. UL listed, Made in USA.
The D'Beetle Difference • Complete with Original Box: United Clock Corp box with model 811 marking present. That hourglass logo dates to a Brooklyn company operating since 1905 — serious collector provenance.
• Working Electric Movement: 115V AC synchronous motor keeps accurate time. Original cloth-wrapped cord intact. 2W standard operation, 12W with decorative lights illuminated.
• Substantial Display Presence: Measures approximately 15" wide bow to stern. Three chrome mast assemblies with spiral sails, string rigging, and chrome pennant flags. Red jeweled running lights on port and starboard.
