Both the clock and barometer are in excellent overall condition, with only minimal signs of age. Brass surfaces are bright and well-maintained. This set has not been polished recently nor professionally. The clock runs properly, and the ship’s bell strike functions as intended.
These pieces were displayed only occasionally and stored carefully for decades. This set is true 1970’s Schatz originals, no later
reproductions ; matching factory paired set. Complete with manual + original key, rarely found together. The brass housings remain bright and clean; both dials are clear and well preserved, with smooth pointer. These Schatz ship’s wheel sets are sought after by maritime collectors and are becoming increasingly hard to find in this condition, especially with original documentation.
