Catalog Description:

C.1890, French, Rare Industry Series Clock, with globe and marine themes. We sold the cousin to this clock, lot 241 on May 1, 2000 for $5100+, however on the current clock, the globe is not rotated by the clock movement (a significant difference). On the base you have a clock and barometer (mounted inside a ring gear), plus a compass in stand, an anchor (with thermometer), hawser, and jack. Note the globe is distressed, and with plaster showing; you can just make out the major continents. Movement with cylinder platform is running. For reference, see Miller's Clocks and Barometers Buyer's Guide, 1997, page 130.Height 15"
