1920's-1930's Blood Pressure Instrument

Wow. Probably 1920's-1930's 'Behaj Oscillometre' Blood Pressure Instrument. Immaculate condition. Rubber is soft on the bulb and tubes, however the rubber on the inside of the denim-like cuff was cracked and dried out and hence unusable.  'Manometer' included.

Not working, the motor that runs the pendulum mechanism is seized.   A great looking, interesting clock and there are variations on this model, one with a woodgrain case and one with a different face...
