I see some that say Lexon and some that say Schatz. It does not seem to affect the value. They sell for 100.00 to 300.00 at auction. I would put yours at the higher end. Nautical always sells well online. I did not know from your post that you already had the information. Had I known I would have started from what you already had.

Yeah I was pretty sure because of the stamp it was Schatz brand, I just wanted to make sure because I am considering throwing it up on ebay, but do not want to mislead bidders. I actually took it to an antique shop today, probably not the best place to take it since It's not an antique, but he offered $50 I felt that was a little low... He didn't know what it was but thought it was a "cool clock".

Well, thank you for the help. I had an idea of what it was I just wanted to be sure... the nameplate through me off. Thanks again

It is a Schatz ships bell clock produced from after WWII until the company went out of business in 1986. A search on Google for Schatz Ship Bell Clock will turn up a lot of results.

Right, but the part that has me confused is that the one I have says "Lexon" on the faceplate. i did see some online that were identical to this one, except they said "Schatz" on the faceplate.

We have tried to do some research ourselves but had very little luck. just curious if this clock has any value. I do not know much about it other than it says "Lexon" on the face, but the rear stamp, per Google, is a stamp for a German company named "Schatz" and the key says "Chelsea".

thanks in advance!!
