From my Barometer collection: Here we have an Antique , ELLIOTT BROS. LONDON Gentlemen’s Gilt Brass Cased Aneroid Barometer & Altimeter. The Elliott Brothers company operated in London, England from 1834 – 1921. They were Electrical instrument makers, Mathematical instrument makers, Optical instrument makers and Philosophical instrument makers, specializing in barometers, microscopes, theodolites, transits, etc. The dial is marked with:’COMPENSATED ELLIOTT BROS. The instrument is in very good’used’ condition. The brass cased barometer is in working order and has been verified by use of the’plastic bag’ test. The case shows all of the original aged’gilt’ brass patina. The dial surface is in very good condition with a very clean appearance. And the revolving altimeter ring works nicely. He beveled-edge crystal is in very good condition with only one short faint scratch, but no cracks or edge nicks. The top crown and bow ring are in good condition. Barometer is 2 in diameter. Unfortunately, the original Moroccan Red Leather case has seen lots of wear. The small brass hinge has pulled out from the lid and the button for the clasp has gone missing over the last 150+ years! A very early, Maker marked, working barometer for your collection! THAT MANY SELLERS TRY TO MARKET AS AN ANTIQUE. Please remember to leave Feedback. I will gladly reciprocate.
