Antique silver-cased mantle clock with an interesting historical inscription. The gothic arch-shaped body rests on four bun-shaped supports and is fitted with a French wind-up movement which is in perfect working order and produces a reassuring and gentle tick.
The inscription on the reverse reads:
To
Miss Gregson
from the Committee of the
Missions to Seamen
Buenos Aires
A small token of gratitude for
loyal & wholehearted help
during the years
1915-1919
We don't know what help Miss Gregson provided but since 1836, The Missions to Seamen - renamed Mission to Seafarers - is an international charity providing support to men and women working at sea.
