The Property of the Late Professor Nevill (1930-2019).
Condition report:
Please see extra images on the Bellmans website.
The cylinder base does not come out of the box - or at least needs careful extraction which has not been possible.
The brass is lightly tarnished and oxidised as to be expected.
There is a hanging loop on both the barometer case ad box.
The dial is oxidised and tarnished around the edges, please see extra images. .
The box lid is slightly warped and doesn’t completely close tightly. There are a few inevitable scuffs, knocks and general wear commensurate with use and age.
It is not possible to test the functionality of the barometer and it is sold “as is”.
