Antique American Clocks July 2020
526. $150
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.
