A very nice original American Peterborough, N. Stick barometer, probably from the mid to late 1860’s. The thermometer is replaced and does not keep accurate temperature. However, everything else about this piece is original. It retains a rich, dark and untouched finish. The brass latch on the door is original. The door retains its original wavy glass with air bubbles. The barometer appears to be in functioning order. The tin plate is present on the back of the barometer- which is almost always missing. There is one small nick to the decorative wood trim on the lower part of the instrument (shown in 9th photo). The tall case clock form of this barometer is truly eye catching, and the condition for its age is really quite good. The finished could be cleaned up a little bit if you desired. I always preferred to leave it honest looking. It measures 37.25″ long by 4.5″ at it’s widest point. These instruments don’t come to market very often. Don’t miss your chance to own it.
