the only other example of this unique clock that we could locate, with the description of its features, was in in a September 1985 Charles Terwilliger silent auction. There was a small run production item that did NOT sell in the roaring 20s and was sooned discontinued. Itt is an almost impossible item to find. The four dials could show different time zones, with the vanes making a revolution every 12 hours. The elaborate wood case has had some repairs but all pieces appear to be in place; however, this remains very fragile for transporting and should not be shipped. The rear glass panel needs to be secured. The unusual 2-train movement ticks and strikes but was not tested long term Overall Ht 30Ò
