A collection of aneroid barometers and in varying states of repairVarious makers, late 19th and early 20th centuryComprising two gilt brass cased pocket barometers signed Negretti & Zambra, LONDON numbers 2371 and 5378; a similar silver-cased pocket barometer with altimeter scale, unsigned, marked for London 1893 makers JS&S; a French nickel finish combination barometer with altimeter, thermometer and compass, unsigned; a brass barometer with altimeter scale inscribed TAMAYA & CO., TOKYO, 821; an oxidised brass surveyor's barometer with altimeter scale signed F. Darton & Co., London; a silver plated desk barometer signed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON, 10131; an unusual brass aneroid WEATHER INDICATOR with external lever for calibration and annotated for winter weather conditions, diameters 13.5cm (5.25ins) and smaller, together with a rare brass desk weather forecaster signed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON with circular scale incorporating adjustments for DIRECTION OF WIND and barometric pressure providing response in the form of a letter key over slot for the corresponding forecast adjusted via knurled knob to the side, 14cm (5.5ins) high, and an unusual gilt brass pocket hygrometer also by NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON with paper scale in pocket-watch type case, diameter 3cm (1.375ins), (10). The Negretti & Zambra weather forecaster in the current lot is based upon their design patented in 1915 which was developed using actual weather conditions over a ten year period. By setting the wind direction and lining up the central disc for the current barometer reading, a key in the form of a letter appearing within the appropriate aperture in the centre of the disc (which takes into account whether the pressure has been rising, falling or remaining steady) can be obtained. This key can then be translated into a 'forecast' by lining up the letter in adjustable the slot below.
An oak cased barograph with thermometer G. Lee and Son, Portsmouth, early 20th century The mechanism with seven segment aneroid chamber connected via a lacquered brass armature to an inked pointer for recording the change in barometric pressure on a clockwork-driven rotating paper scale lined drum, the brass baseplate also applied with mercury tube Fahrenheit and Centigrade silvered scale thermometer and with ivorine trade label inscribed G. LEE & SON, THE HARD, PORTSMOUTH, the case with five panel bevel-glazed cover above ogee moulded base incorporating apron drawer containing some spare charts over simple squab feet, 38cm (15ins) wide. George Lee and Son and recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as 'Instrument-makers to the Honourable Corporation of Trinity House and the Admiralty' working from Ordnance Row, Portsea and 3 Palmerston Road, Southsea, Portsmouth circa 1880-1900.Condition Report: Clock movement is in working condition, the aneroid mechanism appears to be in good condition and is providing an appropriate reading so also appears to be in working order. The instrument retains original lacquer finish to the brass work which has some relatively light degradation and discolouration. The thermometer is intact and working with only light tarnishing to the silvered scale. The ink bottle is present; there is a small ink stain to the base of the case but this is concealed by the frame of the cover so cannot be seen with the cover in place. Extenally the case is in good original condition with no visible damage to the glass and good tight joints to the cover. The finish appears untouched with hence would benefit from a polish however is free for any visible problematic damage. The chart drawer contains a small quantity of spare charts.Instrument has integral winder for the clockwork mechanism. Condition Report Disclaimer
An unusual mercury stick barometer with isothermal altitude scaleShort and Mason Limited, London, first half of the 20th centuryThe oak wall panel applied with cast-iron cistern and tube complete with Bunten air trap against twin silvered scales, the left annotated for ISOTHERMAL ALTITUDE FEET from -1000 to 0 to 24,000 and the right for INCHES from 12 to 32 and divided into twentieths, the right hand margin signed SHORT & MASON, LONDON and the top edge inscribed No. E.7641, (lacking mercury), the back panel 94cm (37ins) high. The firm of Short and Mason are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as operating from 62 Hatton Garden, London 1873-75 then 40 Hatton Garden from 1876. They were leading makers of barographs and aneroid barometers well into the 20th century later merging with Taylor Instruments in 1969.It would appear that the lot is designed to demonstrate the non-linear relationship with regards to variance in air pressure versus altitude. The labelling of the altitude scale with the term 'isothermal' indicates that the scale is has no form of temperature compensation, in other words the altitude reading would only prove accurate if temperature remains the same.
Y A fine Victorian oxidised brass Fortin type mercury forecasting barometerGeorge S. Wood, Liverpool, circa 1880Constructed with central large-bore tube flanked by silvered scales applied to separate ebonised moulded panels calibrated in barometric inches 0-32 and with rack and pinion adjusted Vernier slide to right hand side, opposing an arrangement of three plates engraved with detailed forecasting predictions within fine scroll engraved margins and incorporating recording slide labelled SET AT, 9 A.M. YESTERDAY to top, the apex with further applied bridging plate signed G.S. Wood, LATE ABRAHAM & Co., OPTICIAN, LIVERPOOL, the base with substantial cylindrical cistern incorporating glazed collar enclosing ivory level pointer between screw-clamped collars over fine level adjustment screw to underside, the instrument mounted onto the backboard of a full-height half-round glazed case opening at the front, with domed cupola surmounted with a reeded gilt brass ball finial and conforming inverted dome to base, (mercury removed), 130cm (51ins) approx. high. George S. Wood is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as taking over the business of Abraham Abraham and Company located at 20 Lord Street, Liverpool in 1875 and working until 1894. The current lot is made to the principles laid down by Nicholas Fortin (1750-1831) and incorporates a glazed cistern so that the level can be calibrated via the adjustment screw to the base against an inverted conical ivory cone in the cistern in order to obtain consistency in the readings. This particular type of barometer provides an accurate reading hence was generally adopted for laboratory use throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. The combination of comprehensive scales complete with detailed observations to assist in forecasting (based on those laid-out by Admiral Fitzroy in the 1850's) and fine bowfronted case suggests that the current lot was either made to be exhibited by the maker (possibly in his own showroom) or for a wealthy client or institution.Condition Report: Instrument appears complete with the exception of mercury and two (of the three) brass cistern securing rods and screws (for holding the base of the cistern tight against the cylindrical glass sleeve) which are now unfortunately missing. The silvering to the register plates has some patchy discolouration but engraving is fine and crisp. The case is in good original condition with noticeable faults apparently only limited to the finial being a little bent. Condition Report Disclaimer
A Regency mahogany mercury cistern tube marine stick barometerJohn Augustus, Falmouth, circa 1820 With brass suspension ring above hinged rectangular door enclosing canted silvered vernier register plates annotated with the usual observations and signed John Augustus, Falmouth to lower left hand corner, the inside of the door applied with mercury centigrade thermometer, the rectangular section trunk with brass-sleeved gimbal pivot holes to the slightly bowed sides above stepped moulded cylindrical lacquered brass cistern cover with brass level adjustment screw to underside, (gimbals lacking), 95cm (33.5ins) high.

Y A Victorian rosewood mercury marine stick barometerCasella, London, circa 1860With suspension ring to top over arched bevel-glazed canted double ivory Vernier scales calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations, the upper margin signed Casella, MAKER TO THE ADMIRALTY, LONDON and the arch inscribed James Furnell, the trunk with ivory button keys for the Vernier setting squares above applied arch-glazed mercury FAHRENHEIT and REAUMUR scale thermometer, the base with stepped moulded brass cylindrical enclosed cistern (lacking gimbals), 97cm (38ins) high. The firm of Casella is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established by Louis Casella in 1838 when he went into partnership with his father-in-law Caesar Tagliabue initially trading as Tagliabue & Casella from 23 Hatton Garden, London. His successor, Louis Pascal Casella worked from 1858 and expanded the business resulting in Casella becoming one of the largest makers of barometers and other instruments in England who were still trading well into the 20th century. The name 'James Furnell' inscribed above the maker's signature is probably that of the first owner of the barometer.Condition Report: Barometer contains mercury however the contents appear not to respond to tilting hence there is either a substantial air lock or a problem with the cistern (although there is no evidence of leakage). The scales are in good condition with both Vernier slide adjustments working. The thermometer is in good condition with only minor discolouration to the scale, the lower rail of the moulded surround is missing a small length of moulding. The case is generally in good original unrestored condition as a consequence the cistern casing is tarnished/discoloured in appearance. As catalogued the barometer does not have its gimbal mounts.
