I purchased this clock from an antique dealer, he said that it came from a egg farm, he was told that it had something to do with egg incubation ?
Its a 24 hour clock with no minute hand driven by an electric motor, The other finger can be turned to any position on the clock similar to what you find on a barometer.
There is no manufacturer at all on it, the people who made the motor i contacted, the person who replied said that he had been with them for over 30 years and had not seen one before!
I have contacted various country life museums, poultry farms even the science museum in London all with a dont know reply. Surely somebody knows its not a home made thing it is well built and keeps time!
Can any one give me an answer its face is about 10 inches wide
thanks in advance
