Description
Seth Thomas offered a similar set, merchandised as "Shipmates" and also "Regatta" BUT they substituted hinged, button latch bezels instead of the screw-ons used with the individual items - a fact realized by the mariner that bought these. The jeweled movement "wheel" bezel clock is running, but would benefit from service, and the matching barometer bears the maker's brand "Taylor", which Seth Thomas had labeled with their name after World War II. See 1996 Seth Thomas book, page 386 for illustration. The wheels measure 8"; the well finished walnut mount is 24" high. Note someone refinished both these cases using sandpaper, and they will need polishing. Reserve $400
