of a windmill, each vane with a small time dial, each with a prominent location: Honolulu, San Francisco, London, Paris, Baltimore, Japan, Hong Kong, Bombay and Cairo. The Baltimore dial was originally New York, and the collector had the dial changed to reflect his home town (well done and not easily detected). The zinc finish on the tower is discolored and the cello dial is dark and with tears along the left margin. In nice condition these can bring $1500, and our estimate reflects the modest restoration called for. Two minute hands are missing; otherwise complete and sound; running. Height 22 inches
