Antique American Clocks July 2020
527. $125
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.
