McCOMB, Billy (1922-2006). Brass “Titanic” ship’s clock. Once labeled by McComb as being from the “Oak Room” of the Titanic (most of that label is missing). Clock dimensions: 7” diameter, 3 ½ high. Clock hands missing, numbers written on clock face in marker, stickers with the name “Billy” on the face. The Titanic was constructed in Belfast, Ireland, where Billy was born, and Billy claimed to have found the clock when he was younger. McComb later claimed it was authenticated as being made for the Titanic, but was either an unused spare, or was stolen from the ship, so it never “sailed.” With a COA of the McComb Legacy Auction (lot #21) that this clock was part of that auction. Irish-born American magician and comedian, McComb was a frequent performer in film and television, and performed on cruise ships. He had a reputation for jokes, so it is likely that this clock was not actually from the Titanic. [Together with:] An award plaque to McComb from Siegfried and Roy at the Dedication of the 1997 Desert Magic Seminar. With COA.
