Up for sale is a rare set of small exactly 1 in diameter barometer, compass, and thermometer. They are made of silver cases and all 3 fit in small original leather case with a stand on back for setting on table. The compass and barometer are functioning properly and keeping good readings. The thermometer which is a android thermometer which has similar internal workings as a barometer is not functioning properly. It moves a little but not much. I believe it was worked on sometime in the past and the return spring put in backwards as when it is hot the needle moves to cold and vise versa when its cold. A relatively simple fix for a watch smith. The barometer has a rotating bezel with a tiny spike so to speak that lets you mark the last reading as to keep track of changes in pressure. As it is so small I may not be able to get it in the photos but it is there and the bezel turns. The case has minor wear as expected with age but is still in favorable condition, one side (left) hinge had come off in the past and been repaired and works properly now although I cant say its pristine but it works properly and looks amazing! It is very very rare to find these small of a barometer on working condition and even rarer to find a complete set! This would make a amazing centerpiece to someones collection or could be put on a necklace or pocket watch chain and carried for continuous checking of weather. Please feel free to ask questions. As I had been looking for a set this small for years I know how difficult it can be to find, dont let this pass you up.
