Relisted due to non paying winner. Wonderful antique pocket barometer and compass set. Original leather case with royal purple velvet and satin lining.
Cases have some wear as you can see. The compass case has some corrosion and wear on the front lid while the back is good. Latch works fine as does the compass.
There are 3 screws for adjustment. I have seen the hand change position slightly but cannot attest to the functionality as i do not know how it should be adjusted.
The outer dial is movable and has an impressed registration mark of 149175. Face reads “improved scale compensated”. The two pieces measure approximately 2 in diameter not including stems. The leather covered box measures 4″ x 5.5″. Please see the pictures for detail and feel free to ask any questions.
