This is Hubby's grandfather's ship's clock. It chimes ships bells - eight bells at 4:00, 8:00 and 12:00. Pawpaw had it back in his bachelor days before he married LeeLee (Hubby's grandmother).My mum-in-law said when she was little she would listen for it to chime four times, or 2:00, because that meant she could get up from her nap.
