Description from the seller

Hezzanith Aneroid Barometer Made in England Maritime

Very neat aneroid barometer from the well-known English brand Hezzanith, a trade name of Henry Hughes & Son Ltd, later Kelvin & Hughes. It is a classic maritime model with a solid brass housing, mounted on an octagonal wooden plaque.

The barometer features a clear 28–31 inHg scale and an adjustable set pointer. Glass and hands in good condition. The barometer responds as expected to pressure changes. The brass has a beautiful, even patina appropriate to its age.

Notes
Hezzanith instruments were widely used in the maritime sector and are known for their sturdy construction and accuracy. This specimen is fully original and a good example of a British nautical barometer from the mid-20th century.

Shipped carefully packed.
