Catalog Description:

C.1880, French, Lighthouse Night Clock , in very good original condition. This is a configuration we have not seen before. It uses the same base as the Industry Series lighthouse, but with the time movement in the base. The driveshaft up the tower turns a ventilated base plate that holds the lens (with dial painted on). To reduce the error of a diminishing candle, it is supported by a bracket hanging from the "roof" of the lighthouse, and also easily changed by simply "raising the roof". Certain to be of interest to maritime enthusiasts. Height 21 1/2"
