Grinding Gears, Interior Clock

[Grinding Gears, Interior Clock]	Room: 8212516
Walls of old, dilapidated planks of sun-bleached wood are held haphazardly together by crooked nails and strands of copper wire. A persistent ticking echoes throughout the space, as overhead a chaotic assortment of gears, cogs, and springs appear to support a large brass pendulum that sways slowly, in perfect rhythm. Spanning the back wall is a lacquered countertop covered in a cluttered pile of odd instruments, bottles, and wares around a glass display case.
Obvious paths: out

In the display case you see: a tiny silvery cog, a shiny brass gear, a shiny golden scarab, and a bright red button.
