Lot 176
in a brass case housing an enamelled dial
Estimate $100 - $200
Fully operational aneroid barometer; tapping the barometer, thus disturbing the aneroid cell, reveals that the needle is responding to pressure.
Good cosmetic condition. Signs of minor corrosion to brass, albeit consistent with age.
No noteworthy losses to enamelled dialing.
There is a manually adjustable needle that is used to mark the current measurement so a change can be seen - and it is working.
