Early 20th century pocket barometer/altimeter in gilded brass case, much of the gilt intact. Light scratching on case, no dings or dents. Beveled and bowed glass crystal in perfect shape. Aluminum dial has some staining, everything readable. Outer bezel ring rotates to adjust reading. Have been watching needle for 3 days, has only moved slightly. Unsure if this piece is working or not. Comes with original leather case, rough in shape but neat to have. (see pictures) thanks for looking! We will be auctioning many fine compasses (as seen in last photo, part of the collection).
