And Weighs 14 oz. (does not include packaging weight)
**************************************************
~*~Beautiful Patina~*~
Here for your consideration is this fabulous antique metronome
The metronome is in very good condition and fully functional
It winds & pendulum swings freely with prominent clicks to its tempo setting
There are two age cracks on bottom/face (see pics)
The works/running gears are very clean & free of any corrosion
The aged patina is great but if wished the case and name plate would clean up well
I will send as is with no cleaning and leave up to buyer
This metronome according to its serial # was made between 1866-1880
~~~ Which makes its patina 141~155 yrs. old ~~~
"VERY RARE TO FIND THIS OLD IN WORKING CONDITION"
Collectors would be hard pressed to find a finer example of this amazing musical collectible
NOTE
~*~ Although metronome is fully functional I
DO NOT
guarantee correct tempo & may need re-calibrated ~*~
