Brass Ship’s Clock and Barometer Set by Franklin Instrument – Germany

This Brass Ship’s Clock and Barometer set, made by Franklin Instrument in Germany, adds maritime charm to any space. The set includes a wind-up clock and a matching barometer, with brass housings.

Tested using the ziplock bag method, the barometer’s arm moved, indicating movement to pressure changes. The clock, a wind-up, ticks when wound. Both pieces showcase their German craftsmanship and maritime origins. This set is perfect for collectors, nautical enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add practical and stylish instruments to their decor.

Features:

• Responsive Barometer (model MK: 13-6): Ziplock bag test confirmed arm movement to pressure changes.
• Reliable Wind-Up Clock (model MK: 41-6): Includes a key and operates when wound.
• Durable Brass Construction: Timeless design with lasting quality.
• Made in Germany: Produced by Franklin Instrument, renowned for precision maritime instruments.
• Consigned from a Private Collection: in great condition.

Testing and Accuracy:

While both pieces have been tested for basic functionality, their accuracy has not been verified. The barometer responds to pressure changes observed during testing, but precise readings are not guaranteed. Similarly, the clock operates when wound and shows movement, but exact timekeeping has not been confirmed.

Ziplock bag test: put the barometer in a large, clear plastic bag inflated with air. Gently squeeze the bag; a sealed bag will cause the pointer to show a rise in pressure.
