AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The object shown in the image is a vintage analog hygrometer, a instrument used to measure the relative humidity of the air.
Measurement unit: At the bottom the clearly visible label % REL. indicates the percentage of relative humidity.
Graduated scale: The measurement ranges from 0% (completely dry air) to 100% (air saturated with moisture).
Measured value: The black needle is positioned at about 78%, signaling a rather high humidity level.
Nautical style: The porthole-like design and the sturdy brass housing recall the classic meteorological instruments used aboard ships (marine instrumentation).
Flange finish: The external crown features a dark grain that imitates tortoise shell or horn, a decorative detail typical of some antique or collectible items from the last century.
