This is a good condition working combination pocket barometer and altimeter with extended scales, possibly for use by a balloonist or mountain climber, complete with case. The gilded brass case with hanging loop is in excellent condition with very little marking.. The bezel, bevelled glass, and altitude chapter ring all rotate freely. The silvered chapter ring is calibrated 0 to 10000 feet. The silvered dial is calibrated from 21 to 31 inches Hg and inscribed 'Compensated'. There is a rear adjusting screw. The moroccan leather covered case is lined with satin & velvet, and, as is so often the case, the catch is broken. The barometer reacts very positively to the 'plastic bag test' and is tracking current changes in atmospheric conditions. It is 1 7/8 x 3/4 inches (47 x 17 mm) and weighs 100 grams. P&P will be £2.50 for First Class Recorded UK delivery, airmail to Europe will cost £3 and to the rest of the world, £3.50. No reserve.
Payment Preferences
My preferred methods of payment are cheque, cash on delivery/collection, or bank to bank transfer using the IBAN/BIC system. I will, of course, accept Paypal but this means I, as seller, have to pay costly fees. I do also accept other forms of electronic payment. Email me to discuss.
Shipping & Handling
For smaller items (up to 2 kg) I use Royal Mail First Class Signed For or Royal Mail Airmail (small package) service at the published rates. For domestic deliveries of small heavier items items I use Royal Mail Parcel service at the published rates.
