Vintage pocket barometer with old velvet lined case. It’s fairly heavy for its size so i think it is made of varnished brass. It has a silvered dial and moveable bezel for altitude measurement. The front of the dial says keuffel & esser co.
Ny, compensated, and made in england. The back has a few small scratches near the adjustment screw and says trade mark london in the middle. The case is old, in two pieces now, and the back is hanging on by a thread, almost literally. The barometer fits snugly in the case. Has a famous history as one of the first true scientific instruments dealers in the us, particularly for drafting and surveying. This item is not only a remarkable english-made scientific instrument, but carries an interesting purveyor pedigree as well.
