A barometer from the 1875–1900 period, in working order. It measures temperature on two scales: Celsius and Réaumur. A France-made piece in good condition, showing normal signs of age-related wear. It has undergone no modifications other than adjustment/calibration. The left handside of the instrument holds a silvered continental scale measuring 72 to 77 cms of barometric pressure. A second silvered scale is placed to the back of the righthandside which supports two miniature curved thermometers reading for both Celcius and Reamur. The object was until recently part of the equipment of a wooden schooner. A very scarce and hugely interesting barometer. Its value is estimated at approximately €1,900–€2,000.
