Western Germany ship’s wheel clock and barometer, ca. 1947?  A ship’s wheel lever movement clock with a 4-inch silvered dial in an 8-inch brass case.  It is running and striking ship’s bells, and can be silenced with a lever on the left side of the dial.  Note that one handle at the 8 is missing.  The barometer is in a matching case; both have beveled flat glasses and considerable tarnish/corrosion to the brass.  No maker indicated, I did not open the cases, but it says “made in Western Germany” on the back of both.  I think that implies post WWII manufacture before 1949 when West Germany became a country. $125-$250.
