A group comprising a nautical mechanical knotmeter, a pyramid-form metronome, and a collection of signage letters. The marine speedometer features a black plastic? housing with a blue bezel bearing raised lettering reading Walker and Mink?. The dial is graduated from 0 to 10 and features printed text reading Knots. The instrument is accompanied by a polished wooden? storage box fitted with a white metal? strap and toggle clasp. The traditional mechanical metronome is constructed with a dark wood case of pyramid form, containing a pendulum scale printed with musical tempo graduations: PRESTO, ALLEGRO, ANDANTE, ADAGIO, LARGHETTO, and LARGO. A small metal manufacturer’s plaque is fixed to the front, but the characters are not legible. The lot also includes a cardboard box containing an assortment of white plastic interchangeable alphanumeric characters.
