Swift & Anderson Inc. lever clock and barometer, ca. 1970?  An 8-day jeweled lever movement made in West Germany by August Schatz & Sohne for Swift & Anderson Inc. in Boston.  It is running and striking ship’s bells on schedule.  There is an on/off lever to silence the strike if you are a landlubber.  The white enamel dial is clean, behind a beveled, slightly convex glass.  There are spots of corrosion to the brass case.  The compensated barometer may or may not be working in a matching case.  Both are 7 inches in diameter and 4 inches high.  I found one recent sale online for $160.  $150-$200.
