    looking at the morgan video (only just became apparent) he's using it do drown out the sound of the city

    as the metromone gets louder and the city noises dim

    not my intention......but interesting none the same

    Ahh, I have is a very similar one here:). DH was a lute player and to see the metronome ticking away next to the lute was rather lovely.

    This is the one I have.

    There is a serial number on the bottom and asking Google, ahem, first try it said that number would date 1924-1930. Next try it gave the range of 1945-83 but at least that Google "AI overview" gave sources which concur.
