This barometer was manufactured by the Central Scientific Co. By the color of the metal most of the material composition, besides the wood base, appears to be brass. I believe the wood is mahogany, but it is difficult to tell. Please use photos to determine the wood type. The second plaque indicates that it was originally Government and University of Chicago property. The round glass piece at the bottom of the barometer is complete. Based on feedback from buyers, the original barometer had a round glass tube inside the brass tube. THERE IS NO GLASS TUBE INSIDE. The glass thermometer is completely intact and works. In regards to the condition, there is discoloration and staining that is normal for an item of this age. The wood appears to have been newly stained and redone. There is gouging on the wood at the top (see photo). The brass part from end to end measures about 39.5 long. The wood base measures 42.75″ long and about 4-3/8″ wide. All together it weighs about 5 lbs 6 oz. It will be appropriately packed. Please use photos to best determine value and condition.
