Top Quality English Antique Octagonal Wall Barometer
Posted on April 14, 2023 and filed under Uncategorized.
A top quality wall barometer by the London maker John Wardale. The octagonal mahogany case is in lovely condition. It measures approximately 10 across the diagonal. The silvered dial measures approximately 6 across. The movement has been calibrated but fine calibration might be required for the most accurate readings. The exact age is uncertain, but an educated guess would be 1910 – 1920 based on the back being stamped English Made rather than Made in England. English barometers of this period were the best available. This item is in the category “Antiques\Science & Medicine (Pre-1930)\Scientific Instruments\Barometers”.

Appears to be in good working condition however I know nothing about these so please keep that in mind. Here is some information on James Green and his. James Green, the son of Samuel and Sarah Green. Was born in London, England in 1808 and moved to the United States opening an instrument shop in Baltimore around 1832. He opened a second shop in New York in the early 1840s, and retired in 1885. Was in the United States 72 years and in New York City 46 years; he died at New York City June 12, 1896.
