The only item that keeps this from being excellent is the oxidized dial, which should be re-silvered. A spring motor in the base (with winding arbor hidden behind the front door), powers the rotating "beacon" for several hours on a winding. One side of the beacon houses an 8-day platform timepiece, and behind that an aneroid barometer with silvered dial. Ht 16.75 [42.5cm]
