This is a beautiful detailed model of the early 1900s Stock Ticker Tape Machines.  It has a wood base and glass dome.  Glass dome is glued to base.  Most likely it was a desk display for a stock broker / investor (perhaps Bernie Madoff).  Note the ticker tape shows fractions (i.e. GM 57 3/8).   It is 6” high x 4” base.  Machine is in very good display condition.
