514.     $150

Seth Thomas “Helmsman Combination”, ca. 1970.  Chrome-plated clock and barometer in separate bases of solid walnut, each with 4-inch silver-plated dials.  The clock is an 8-day, 7-jewel lever movement striking ships bells; you gotta be a sailor to appreciate.  If you aren’t don’t worry, the clock is self-correcting so it will always strike correctly. It is running and striking.  Cases are 8.75 inches in diameter, the base is 13 inches long.  Barometer has a high-grade compensated movement (whatever that means).  $150-$300.
