I do not know if the barometer works but suspect it does. The case measures 6 1/2″ tall and the dial itself is about 3″ diameter. There is some very old writing on the inside of the rear cover as well as some numerals scratched into the paint on the rear of the metal barometer housing. Not sure if the pointer is original or not but certainly the rest of the assembly is. I took the unit apart for photography and it will be carefully reassembled. Take a look at the photos.
