A LATE VICTORIAN OXIDISED BRASS ANEROID SURVEYOR'S BAROMETERJ. CASARTELLI AND SON, MANCHESTER, CIRCA 1900The 3.75 inch circular silvered register signed J. CASARTELLI & SON, MANCHESTER beneath COMPENSATED to the recessed centre, within scale calibrated in barometric inches divided into fiftieths and concentric outer scale calibrated in feet in both directions for ASCENT and DESCENT from 0 to 3000 divided into ten-foot increments, with slender blued steel pointer and revolving canted inner bezel adjusted via the crown incorporating a small scale annotated and divided 0-5-10 in both directions and also labelled ASCENT and DESCENT, the outer bezel with thick bevelled glass and applied scale magnification lens also revolving manually; with a Stuart's Patent distance meter, retailed by G. Lee and Son, Portsea, late 19th century, with fixed shallow-angled glass prism set next to a section of concave lens whose relative position can be adjusted via a rack and pinion until the split image viewed through the telescope attachment lines-up, the upper surface of the slide applied with radial cream celluloid scale of alternating dotted and dashed lines annotated TENTHS OF MILES to upper margin, overlaid with a slider attached to the frame of the instrument moving against scale annotated in feet 0-100-200 and with locking screw. Stamped G. LEE & SON., THE HARD, PORTSEA. to lower left, the right-hand brass side panel inscribed STUART'S, DISTANCE METER, (PATENT) and No. 125, the rear with delineated table with columns titled SHIP, MAST H'D TO W L, MAST H'D TO LOWER TOP and UPPER SPEED TO STERN L'T, in original mahogany box with black japanned sighting telescope and instruction sheet (torn), (2).The barometer 14.5cm (5.75ins) high to top of crown, 7cm (2.75ins) approx. deep; the distance meter box 4.5cm (1.75ins) high, 19cm (7.5ins) wide, 10cm (4ins) deep. J. Casartelli and Son are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as opticians and mathematical instrument makers working from 43 Market Street, Manchester, from 1896-1925. George Lee and Son are recorded by Banfield as working from Ordnance Row, The Hard Portsea and 3 Palmerston Road, Southsea circa 1880-1900. Stuart's Patent distance meter is a form of optical rangefinder which requires the height of the object viewed (ship) to be known. By setting the height (in feet) on the central slider and then lining-up the split image viewed through the telescope, after adjustment of the rack and pinion assembly, the distance of the object from the viewer can then be read-off the radial 'Tenths of Miles' scale.

A FINE REGENCY LACQUERED BRASS AND MAHOGANY 'PORTABLE ORRERY' AND TELLURIANWILLIAM JONES, LONDON, CIRCA 1815The tellurian assembly with removable brass sphere representing the sun forming the central fixed axis of an arrangement of gears set between slender shaped plates engraved Monthly Preceptor No. 2 above To Miss Eliz'th Parker, Aged 14, of Mettingham, near Bungay, Suffolk, as the Reward of distinguished merit to the upper surface, terminating with a tiered arrangement of paper scale annotated with the age of the moon including eight images showing progression of the phases beneath central ring showing signed of the Zodiac and upper included ring forming the track of moon which rises and falls as it processes around a central bone terrestrial sphere, the train operated by rotating the assembly clockwise around the central pivot over a 7.75 inch disc base applied with printed paper scale annotated with calendar divided for the months and signs of the Zodiac to circumference, the middle concentric band annotated for the seasons and equinoxes, and the centre illustrated with planets of the solar system drawn to show their relative sizes along with inscription A NEW PORTABLE ORRERY, Invented and Made by W. JONES, and Sold by him in Holborn, LONDON; with original mahogany box containing a small oil can lamp can to allow the solar sphere to be substituted for a light source; together with separately cased orrery or planetarium attachment, with central post applied with brass solar sphere issuing pivoted graduated radial arms applied with bone and ivory spheres depicting Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn together with respective moons.The principal box 12cm (4.75ins) high, 22cm (8.5ins) square; the planetarium box 3.2cm (1.25ins) high, 20cm (8ins) wide, 9.5cm (3.75ins) deep. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Purchased from Harriet Wynter Limited Arts and Sciences, London, 26th June 1975. Exhibited at Asprey and Company The Clockwork of the Heavens - An exhibition of astronomical clocks, watches and allied scientific instruments presented by Asprey & Company with the special help of Harriet Wynter and the collaboration of various museums and private collections London, November 1973, exhibit number 74. William Jones is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as apprenticed to the highly regarded maker Benjamin Martin. He went into partnership with his brother, Samuel Jones (apprenticed to George Adams Junior, instrument maker to George II) in 1791. The partnership worked from several addresses in Holborn 1791-1859 (including 135 Holborn 1792-1800 and 30 Holborn 1800-1859) and became one of the most important firms of scientific instrument makers of the late Georgian/Regency period. The design of present lot was developed by William Jones in 1812 primarily as an education aid based upon the principles of 'James Ferguson's construction'. The Tellurian was intended demonstrate astronomical phenomena such as the reasons for day and night, seasons, and eclipses, related to the diurnal rotation of the earth, the annual revolution of the earth around the sun, and monthly revolution of the moon around the earth. Whilst the 'planetarium' was a much simpler model intended to illustrate the basic construction of the solar system. Condition Report: The instrument is generally in very good original condition. The tellurium assembly is fully operational with the overlaid papers within the mechanism intact with minimal discolouration. There is some discolouration/oxidation to the brass and the ivory terrestrial sphere has a slight shrinkage crack and a couple of other small surface blemishes. The paper applied to the base are free from tears, lifting or heavy scuffs. The colour has browned to a darkish cream tone and one of the pigments used to highlight the annotations has oxidised heavily resulting in localised dark patches within the print. The base panel is free from splits/cracks and is straight. The red pigment bordering the edge has flaking/wear. The planetarium attachment is complete and in good original condition. The brass has overall light oxidation and a couple of the spheres have been re-glued onto their supports. The box containing the planetarium is in fine original condition with faults limited to a few light bumps and scuffs and other minor age-related blemishes. The box for the instrument contains a cylindrical tinned metal oil lamp fitting which is empty does not have a wick fitted, there is also a spare hole suggesting a support some other accessory or is perhaps holding place for brass solar sphere when it is removed from the tellurium. The rear top edge of the box has had a full width slip of wood let-in across the full width probably to repair a section that has split away from the rear edge; there is also a small bruise near the lock suggesting that it has been jemmied-open at some point, otherwise box is in good original with faults limited to minor bumps, scuffs and other age-related blemishes.Box has a key for the lock.

Y A REGENCY MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETERTHOMAS BLUNT, LONDON, EARLY 19th CENTURYThe caddy moulded case with swan neck pediment over rectangular glazed silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and signed T. Blunt, 22 Cornhill, LON, DON to upper margin, the ebony-edged trunk with Vernier adjustment square to throat and flame-figured veneers, over ogee-moulded domed cistern cover to the rounded base incorporating level adjustment square to underside.98.5cm (38.75ins) high, 12.5cm (5ins) wide. Provenance:The Leonard Fuller Collection. Thomas Blunt is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as apprenticed to the celebrated scientific Instrument maker Edward Nairne in 1760, with whom he subsequently formed a partnership after gaining his freedom of the Spectaclemakers' Company in 1771. Edward Nairne died in 1806 although some instruments signed for 'Nairne and Blunt' are believed to have been made after that time. Thomas Blunt was a distinguished instrument maker who was credited with assisting J.H. Magellan with some of the features of his 'New Barometer' devised in 1779. Blunt is believed to have continued alone from his Cornhill address until his death in 1822; he was succeeded by T. Harris.
A RARE FRENCH LARGE FOUR-DIAL NOVELTY AUTOMATON LIGHTHOUSE TIMEPIECE WITH BAROMETER AND THERMOMETERSPOSSIBLY BY ANDRE ROMAIN GUILMET, PARIS, RETAILED BY F. GUILLEBOT, BORDEAUX, LATE 19th CENTURYThe timepiece with circular eight-day movement with platform cylinder escapement regulated by sprung monometallic balance vertically planted on the backplate stamped V.R., BREVETE PARIS over serial number 2524, the 2.25 inch circular dial with gilt centre inscribed F. GUILLEBOT, 52 COURS DE L'INTENDANCE, BORDEAUX within silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with blued steel spade hands set behind hinged cast gilt brass bevel-glazed bezel with canted insert to interior, mounted within a nickel-plated cylinder in a cruciform arrangement with a pair of conforming curved mercury tube CENTIGRADE and REAUMUR scale thermometers to the sides and a BAROMETRE ANEROIDE to rear, similarly signed for the retailer's to centre within silvered scale calibrated in mm hg 690-800 numbered for every ten and with the usual observations in French, with blued steel pointer and recording hand to glass matching those for the paired thermometers, the nickel-finish cylinder assembly forming the lantern of the lighthouse capped with a gilt cupola engraved with brick courses and with finely executed weather-vane, slowly revolving via a separate going-barrel driven movement set within the base of the lighthouse structure, the tower formed as a tapered column with gilt balustrade gallery supported on corbels over brick-coarse engraved shaft applied with staggered gilt arched windows, over moulded foot incorporating hinged door to reveal the winding square for the automaton movement, on rounded circular base set on a Belge noir marble plinth.62cm (24.5ins) high, 23cm (9ins) diameter at the base. Andre Romain Guilmet was born on the 10th of December 1827 in La Ferte-Gaucher, France. He was a credited as a watchmaker and inventor who specialised in producing novelty and mystery clocks for which he applied for a number of patents for designs. Amongst his other Patents was that for a bicycle where the driving chain was set below the seat. He is best known for his 'mysterieuse' figural clock with glass pendulum, this takes the form of a woman holding pendulum in her outstretched hand and arm over a marble base containing the clock below. The pendulum is impulsed by the mechanism underneath her that moves the figure imperceptibly from side to side. Guilmet's industrial series of clocks, which includes the current lot, features automated clocks in the form of windmills, lighthouses, automobiles, boats, steam hammers, boilers, etc.The present lot possibly belongs to Guilmet's 'marine series' and would appear to be a particularly rare larger variant of his lighthouse timepiece, with the other smaller variant having small exposed vertical tube thermometers to the sides of the lantern (rather than the glazed dials of the current timepiece). Condition Report: Clock movement is reasonably clean and is in working condition however a precautionary gentle clean/service is advised if intending to put into long term service. The barometer responds to change in pressure (has been 'bag tested') hence is also in working condition. Both thermometers are intact and in working condition. All four dials are in good original condition but with some slight mellowing to the gilt and silvered finishes. The bezels (rings bordering the dial glasses) have wear/rubbing to the gilt finishes and the nickel-plated finish to the lantern section has some noticeable patchy degradation/spotting to the surface. The rest of the case is in very good condition with good strong gilding exhibiting minimal wear/oxidation and the dark patination with only a few minor age-related scratches mostly near the winding hole for the rotating mechanism; the rotating mechanism/movement is in working order. The block marble plinth has one noticeable shallow edge chip and a couple of smaller ones that can only be detected on closer examination.AMMENDMENT 09/09/2024 - the rotation mechanism driving the 'lantern' section of the lighthouse is a little lazy in its action and prone to stopping hence probably requires a service.Timepiece is complete with two winding keys.

Henry Marc is noted in Allix, Charles and Bonnert, Peter CARRIAGE CLOCKS Their history and development as probably a retailer of various mantel and other small clocks and refers to a relatively early carriage clock (number 26886) supplied to Marc by Japy Freres. Condition Report: Timepiece movement is wound and will run for a little while before stopping indicating that a gentle clean/service is required. The dial has slight rubbing to the signature and some oil deposits/smears otherwise appears undamaged. The barometer has not yet been 'bag tested' (as we do not currently have access to a bag big enough!) but otherwise appears to be in fine condition with no visible faults to the register. The thermometer has heavy tarnishing to the silvered scale otherwise appears undamaged. The case appears to be in very good original condition with faults limited to some oxidation/rubbing to the areas of gilding and a couple of tiny edge chips to the marble base.Timepiece is complete with a key.
