in very good condition. In this version, the top revolves for several hours on a winding, 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. The typical clock and barometer are set into the beacon, opposite each other, and between the two are Centigrade and Fahrenheit thermometers; note one thermometer tube is replaced with a red alcohol version. We sold a "cousin" to this in May that had a black marble base, this one has mottled red. Height 17" $2000-2500
