What's built into your icebox?

Just saw a Top Hat on Ebay and part of the description, point 5, says:
"5 ships clock & barometer built in ice box"
I was wondering how many other Top Hats had things like clocks and barometers built into their iceboxes. Or maybe you have other things built into your icebox?
cheers

Put mine on the main bulkhead. Never thought about the icebox but I guess it would allow you to check the time between beers and the air pressure in the icebox....

Hey Mark, good thinking.
I wonder if air pressure in the ice box gives any indication if home-made ginger beer is about to blow. When I used to make ginger beer years ago, some of the bottles exploded dangerously. And my father-in-law's home brew (beer) storage shelves had to be cleaned from time to time when one of those tallies was overcome by the pressure build up inside.

Hmmmm. Not sure your Top Hat is the best place to make your home brew, but it would give you something to offer your guests when they came on board.
