    Description

    Antique Taylor Wood & Brass (Home Made) Wall Barometer 19" Weather Station with Two (2) Thermometers V.G.U.C.
    This wonderful antique scientific instrument has a charming Victorian style and a primitive country appeal. The bottom gauge, made in Germany, has multiple functions and readings. The top scale reads changes in air pressure based in (inches in mercury (inHG)) from
    27.9 inHG to 31.1 inHG and can give indications of weather patterns depending on rising, falling or steady needle readings. A barometric reading below 29.80 inHg is generally considered low, and low pressure is associated with warm air and rainstorms . Rising or steady pressure indicates clearing and cooler weather. Slowly falling pressure indicates rain. Rapidly falling pressure indicates a storm is coming. Below this is a very unique curved mercury thermometer that has markings for measurements in ºC & ºF from [-5ºC to 45ºC] & [23ºF to 113ºF]. The Taylor made thermometer on top has been somewhat damaged by a solvent that was intended to clean the tarnish from the brass surfaces. The markings were partially worn away, and have been "repaired". It has readings from 40ºF to 100ºF. Altogether, this handsome device is an engaging scientific equipment collectible and a wonderful home décor enhancement for those who enjoy the country, lodge, cabin, primitive, Americana, retro, antique, Victorian decorative aesthetic.
