Item specifics: antique pocket barometer altimeter compensated science weather gauge. Case pocket watch meter altitude experiment lab. Laboratory device thermometer field measuring travel scientific test testing measure instrument. Antique pocket barometer with altimeter dial with it’s original hard shell leather over wood case. With thick beveled glass face cover. It’s compensated and has outer dial for which rotates for altitude function. The barometer measures 2-3/4″ wide and is 15/16″ thick. The leather case is 3-1/8 wide. Front face is marked “compensated” and “rain, change, fair”. The barometer looks to be made with brass or gold-toned plating over metal… I let it sit overnight and the needle moved a bit although our weather in california is fairly stable right now. It’s in nice condition with no dents, cracks or breaks. No glass cracks, chips or scuffs. The face is not cracked. The face numbers and hash marks are solid. The rotating ring is a bit hard to turn which a spot of oil should remedy. The face rim area has some tanning/browning areas from age, as shown. The top post and loop shows some plate loss.
Since my items are on consignment and/or from estates, i cannot guarantee they came from a smoke or pet free environment.
