Condition: the top cap or roof to the lighthouse is missing; the pendulum is missing [simple affair]. Original movement is complete and will tick when you move the verge. A drive shaft extends upward from the movement to the "fan". Counterweights on the 8 sets of motion works cause the time to advance on the small dials as well. Small dials with the following cities: Peking, San Francisco, New York, Greenwich, Paris, Madrid, Petersburg, and Amsterdam. Note that 3 hands are missing and all dials have been touched up with aluminum paint, and some of the small motion works are frozen. You will find a better one of these for sale at georgeglazer.com for $3750 [no mis-type] See also lot 485-a. Height 23 inches [58.5cm]
