Description from the seller

Hezzanith Aneroid Barometer Made in England Maritime

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

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

Explanation
Hezzanith instruments are widely used in the maritime sector and are known for their sturdy construction and accuracy. This example is entirely original and a good example of an English nautical barometer from the mid-20th century.

Carefully packed and shipped.
