in very good condition. This is the most common lighthouse in the series (and there are 6 different), with the top beacon that revolves for several hours on a winding. The typical clock and barometer are set into the beacon, opposite each other, and between the two are Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometer. The movement that powers the "beacon" is housed in the base, and power is transmitted up a long vertical drive-shaft which has teeth on the bottom end to engage the rotating arbor on the movement. Height 17" Reserve $2500
