and barometer with thermometer, restored. This is an attractive clock, the movements held in circles of gilded rope between the flukes and the shank, the bronze anchor silvered and with a gilt ring, the tapered shank with a Fahrenheit thermometer intact. The time only movement has a cylinder platform, which seems a bit sluggish, but managed to run for over 2 days, and the Aneroid barometer seems OK as well. The fired porcelain dials are perfect; hands original. For literature, see Derek Roberts' Mystery, Novelty and Fantasy Clocks, page 258. Height 9" $700-900
