Antique porcelain dial barometer 10 red & black glaze copper rim mahogany base. An old barometer with a porcelain cream colored dial with red and black glased letters and numbers. The glass is cracked but still intact but obviously will need to be replaced. Can not test using the plastic bag test as the cracks in the glass are all the way thru to the workings. Copper rim is screwed into a mahogany base. The copper ring has some dents and dings. The screws are a bit loose probably from the wood aging. The wood frame has a nice concave ridge to give it more character. Outer dimension is 10 inches with barometer measuring 8 inches across with a 3 inch depth. Brass ring to hang. I do not see any maker’s marks. Very heavy weighing 5 pounds. A real looker – dramatic with the smooth gold edged porcelain dial. Create listings that get noticed! With Auctiva’s 1,800+ Templates.
