Presented here for your consideration is this Vintage Circa 1950s, Blown Glass Aviation Radiometer, Weather Vane featuring four paper wind flags with an airplane on one side and black color on the reverse. I acquired this with information from the original owner that this piece came from her mother’s estate and had worked at the Mt. Pleasant, Iowa Airport 62 years ago. The underside is completely opened and when I carry, the wind draft coming up into the vessel triggers the Flags to spin depending on how much wind draft it is receiving. I also placed on my inside window ledge where it receives some sun and it did not spin, however, when I placed it outside on my deck where it receives plenty of direct sun, then the Flags did spin. So apparently it does require loads of sun for it to work properly. I guarantee all my listings as described + Photos. PLEASE NOTE: Please checkout my site for other Fine Antiques, Decorative Arts and Collectibles and other Fine Vintage Jewelry. CONDITION : Very Good Condition for age. Works in outside direct sun but not inside if not receiving enough sunlight. NO flaws to report other than the base edge shows some uneveness around the outside edge as can be seen in my image.

About 7″ x 4 1/2″ x 12 1/2. When I acquired this unique, hand made device, the previous owner thought it is a primitive still, carried on shipboard for distilling salt water into drinking water. I believe it is actually a hand made barometer. When the two glass chambers are filled with water, a slight change in atmospheric pressure would result in a column of water rising or falling in the very narrow white frosted glass tube. Hand forged shoe foot iron frame. Brass set screws and iron hooks holding the glass in place. No condition issues noted. Nice old iron surface. A RARE AND UNUSUAL NINETEENTH CENTURY NAUTICAL WEATHER INSTRUMENT. The item “Primitive Antique marine barometer wrought iron hand blown glass distiller 1800s” is in sale since Friday, July 20, 2018.

We have worked very hard to build our little business and it is very important to us. We try and do business the old fashioned way and have a rather simple outlook. Treat all of your customers as if they are family. Postal rates we needed to define and explain our methods of business. One – who we deal with. We add a reasonable cost for materials, normally that is $2.00 for regular sized packages. For small flat items $1.00. That covers the expense of boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap, peanuts, (we only use new packing materials, life is too short to scrounge through dumpsters). For larger items that take a larger more expensive box, we charge a little more, to cover the special box, example paintings or lamps. For oversized items or items that will take special attention to package, build a crate, wrap a zillion things individually, etc. If you do not, we charge the same amount as if you did. That allows for us to have international tracking. Six – time frame to pay. If there is a rush, we will make every effort to work with you in getting it out of the door faster.
