By far, the nicest stick barometer/thermometer/humidity instrument we’ve ever carried. It still performs all of its function as well as it did 180 years ago and is indisputably beautiful, in rich, warm mahogany that the English did so well. Cattelli & Son of Hereford England. It features a hardwood wheel design with an 8 silvered barometer dial finely engraved, encased in a cast bezel covered with a convex glass, a silvered Thermometer scale with a red alcohol tube. The makers name is recorded in the Barometer Makers book by Edwin Banfield at 1815-45. Below the barometer dial is an ivory knob for positioning the brass hand for earlier readings. At the bottom is a spirit level engraved with the makers name. On the back side there is a narrow hinged door that open onto the working components. It measures 38″ tall and 14″ at the widest point. It is extremely difficult to find fragile scientific instruments of this age that are still functional and why we’re pleased to find this one.
