About the Item
- Dimensions:Height: 7 in (17.78 cm)Diameter: 4.75 in (12.07 cm)
- Place of Origin:
- Period:
- Date of Manufacture:1970's
- Condition:Considering it age, and years of use it is hard to tell this clock and barometer set from new except for the the barometer which remains on 29.8 millibars, and the tiny spots on the cases where the lacquer coating is worn through leaving little brown specs. The barometer also has two small blemishes on its face from minor oxidation. The lacquer is worn in a number of places elsewhere, darkening the bronze. All this is part of the normal aging process, and from a few feet away they can hardly be seen. The upgraded movement keeps perfect time, and there is nothing quite like the resonant ringing of a ship's bell from this design.
