and barometer with thermometer, restored. This is an attractive clock, the movements held in circles of gilded rope between the flukes and the shank, and with a bronze anchor, the tapered shank with a Fahrenheit thermometer intact. The time only movement is dirty but sound and complete, and the Aneroid barometer seems OK. The fired porcelain dials are good, save for some dirt; hands original. For literature, see Derek Roberts' Mystery, Novelty Fantasy Clocks, page 258. Height 9"
