THIS IS A GREAT WASHINGTON DC AREA ESTATE ATTIC OFFERING FOR A SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT / SURVEYING / ENGINEERING / METEOROLOGY COLLECTION. IT’S AN ANTIQUE 1800s ALMER COE & COMPANY – TYCOS BRASS SURVEYING / ENGINEERING COMPENSATED POCKET BAROMETER. THE INSTRUMENT COMES IN THE CORRECT ORIGINAL VELVET LINED FIELD HARD CASE. THE CASE IS WOOD WITH BLACK LEATHER TRIM COVERING. THE INSTRUMENT CASING IS LACQUERED BRASS WITH A METALLIC SILVER DIAL. THE NUMERICAL BEZEL ROTATES. THE BAROMETER MEASURES APPROX. IT’S ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN AMERICAN 18S POCKET WATCH. I HAVE NO POLISHED UP OR TAMPERED WITH ANYTHING. YOU’E SEEING THE INSTRUMENT FRESH OUT OF THE ESTATE. THE BAROMETER IS COMPLETE & ALL ORIGINAL. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, THE SILVER DIAL HAS SOME TONING FROM AGE. THE NUMERICAL BEZEL STILL ROTATES FINE. THE INSTRUMENT IS NOT LOOSE, SEIZED UP, BENT, DENTED UP, ROTTED OUT OR MODIFIED. THE DIAL NEEDLE STILL CHANGES POSITION, BUT I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW PRECISELY / EXACTINGLY ACCURATE THE BAROMETER STILL WORKS. I HAVE NO WAY TO CALIBRATE IT. THE BAROMETER IS OBVIOUSLY BEING OFFERED WITH NO WARRANTIES, STRICTLY AS AN ANTIQUE FOR DISPLAY IN A COLLECTION, NOT AN A MODERN ACCURATE SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT FOR ACTUAL FIELD USE. THE FIELD CASE IS STILL STRAIGHT & SOLID. THE LID HINGES AND CLASP ARE TIGHT & WORKING. THE VELVET LINING IS WELL INTACT. THE BAROMETER PUSHES IN NICE & TIGHT. AS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS, THE TRIM COVERING ON THE TOP OF THE CASE HAS CHIPPED OFF FROM AGE AND ATTIC STORAGE. IT’S BEING OFFERED DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATE & AS PICTURED HERE. ALL ITEMS I OFFER ARE FROM NUMEROUS EAST COAST E STATES (MOSTLY FROM MARYLAND, WASHINGTON DC, VIRGINIA, NEW JERSEY AND PENNSYLVANIA). YOU ARE SEEING THE ITEMS DIRECTLY FROM THE ESTATES. I DO NOT TAMPER WITH ITEMS OR ALTER THEM IN ANY WAY. I DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT I SEE. ALL ITEMS ARE BEING OFFERED AS FINAL SALES FROM ESTATE LIQUIDATION WITH ALL WEAR OF A USED VINTAGE OBJECT. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM MINT IF I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT IT’S IN MINT CONDITION. I WILL ONLY CALL AN ITEM RARE OR SCARCE IF I TRULY BELIEVE IT TO BE SO. MY AUCTIONS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD. MY DESCRIPTIONS ARE CLEARLY WRITTEN & PLAIN TO UNDERSTAND. I TAKE NUMEROUS EXCELLENT CLEAR CLOSE-UP PHOTOS OF THE ITEMS. I USE PLAIN BACKGROUNDS AND SIMPLE PLAIN FONTS. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FLUFFY BORDERS, FANCY BACKGROUNDS, OVERBLOWN WORDING OR CONFUSING FANCY LETTERING FONTS TO PROMOTE HYPE IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AN ITEM APPEAR MORE SPECTACULAR THAN IT REALLY IS. COL LECTORS PLEASE DO NOT WORRY. IE: IF A VALUABLE ITEM HAPPENS TO GO SUPER CHEAP, YOU GET IT CHEAP. I CANNOT END AUCTIONS EARLY FOR THE WHAT WILL YOU TAKE FOR IT NOW? THE ESTATES USUALLY PREFER STRAIGHT AUCTIONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH. I HOPE ALL OF MY ITEMS WILL GO TO PEOPLE WHO WILL ENJOY THEM. I WILL GLADLY ACCEPT A RETURN IF I DO MAKE A GROSS ERROR IN DESCRIPTION.
