This round wall-mounted aneroid barometer features a circular, cove-molded wooden frame with a warm reddish-brown finish. The instrument is fitted with a polished brass bezel and a decorative brass hanging ring at the top. The white dial is detailed with an outer scale graduated in inches of mercury from 28 to 31 and features weather indicators printed in red and black Gothic-style script reading Stormy, RAIN, Change, FAIR, and Very Dry. A circular opening at the center of the dial reveals the internal brass aneroid movement and mechanism. The barometer includes a black spade-tipped pointer for pressure readings and a gold-tone brass set hand for tracking trends. The dial is marked Made in Germany at the base. Diameter approx. 5.5 inches (measured against a tape measure). Condition: The barometer is in good condition. The wooden case maintains a high-gloss finish, and the brass components show only light surface wear. The glass and dial are clear and undamaged. The mechanical function and accuracy of the instrument have not been tested.
