I have this. A Chelsea "Claremont" desk clock/barometer set. It chimes the 8 bell sequence used in maritime settings.





A little background on the former owner "Al Polizzi"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Polizzi

Alfred Polizzi (born Alfonso Polizzi; Italian pronunciation: [alˈfɔnso poˈlittsi]; March 15, 1900 – May 26, 1975) was a Sicilian emigrant to the United States who was boss of the Cleveland crime family in Cleveland, Ohio, from 1935 to 1945. He stabilized the Cleveland crime family after a period of revenge killings, and was one of the most influential mobsters in the United States. He retired to Florida in 1945, where he was involved in the construction industry. He used several aliases, including "Big Al" and Albert Allen.
