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”.
