Founded in the 1850s, Schatz was for years the leading manufacturer of classic ship’s instruments. For sale, a fine example of their top-of-the-range barometer, made in Germany in the early 1990s. It shows superb workmanship and is fully functional. The barometer is in generally excellent vintage condition with an small area of moderate patina on one edge (see photos #12-13), otherwise with only light patina. The lacquered brass housing is generally fine, without cracks, dents or major blemishes. The dial is in excellent condition. The facet-cut glass port is clean and intact. The barometer is calibrated in both millibars and inches (mercury units). There is a fine capillary thermometer (Celsius/Fahrenheit). The barometer may need adjusting after transport, easily done via back access (photos). A great opportunity to own one of these superb instruments, for use at home, in the office or on-board ship. I pack with care (see reviews) and send securely with insurance.
