Here from a local estate is this great antique 1800’s barometer & thermometer combination instrument made by j. When this was made j. Hicks was the premier maker of these type of instruments in the late 1800’s.
This model was made to hang on the wall. I really know very little about this instrument, but will describe as best as i can. It measures 6.625″ across x 2.125″ thick. It is very heavy by weight.
The curved thermometer at the bottom of the face is complete and works great. The barometer dial has 2 hands. One of the hands is loose and has fell to the bottom of inside the face glass. I have not checked it barometer to see if works correctly. The front glass face plate is easily removed by 3 screws holding the front trim ring. The glass is in excellent condition. The fancily engraved dial face looks very fine. The outer case does have some 120+ years of aging patina and wear.
