A SCOTTISH GEORGE III CHEVRON-EDGED MAHOGANY MERCURY STICK BAROMETER IN THE STYLE OF BALTHAZAR KNIECOUTTS, KINROSS, CIRCA 1800The onion-top chevron-edged case applied with arched silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual observations beneath flowering urn motifs to upper margins and signed Coutts, Kinross to the lower, the trunk with visible tube and the base with oval lozenge-shaped cistern cover.100cm (39.5ins) high 10cm (4ins) wide. A Coutts of Kinross does not appear to be recorded in the usual sources however a James Coutts is recorded in Smith, John Old Scottish Clockmakers, FROM 1453 to 1850 as working in Perth 1800-48 including an address in Barosa Street from 1837 onwards. The design of the present lot is very much in the style of the renowned Edinburgh barometer maker, Balthazar Knie. An example of Knie's work of related design can be found in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS on page 175 (plates 112 and 113). Condition Report: Tube is filled with no apparent airlocks hence is in working condition. The register plate has a solder repair and some distortion at apex above the tip of the tube otherwise is in good original condition with delicate detail within the engraving still clear. The silvering has streaky oxidation/tarnishing. The case has old glaze-type polish finish, some localised small replacements to the edging (none missing) and minor veneer shrinkage only.

A GILT BRASS ANEROID POCKET WEATHER FORETELLER BOROMETER OR 'WEATHER WATCH'NEGRETTI AND ZAMBRA, LONDON, EARLY 20th CENTURYThe 2 inch circular silvered register calibrated in barometric inches to the circumference around an inner ring adjustable for DIRECTION OF WIND via the knurled bezel against annotations provided as compass bearings as well as DEAD CALM, the central disc rotated via a knurled crown within the suspension loop for lining-up the blued steel pointer against a scale with corrections for altitude, pierced with three sectors annotated FALL, STEADY and RISE revealing letter codes to the fixed plate behind, inscribed PATENT 6276/15 and signed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, the cylindrical case with altimeter scale to circumference to allow calibration of the instrument for a given altitude by turning the rear bezel align a pointer engraved into the rim, the rear cover is annotated with twenty-six sectors describing a weather forecast beside a letter of the alphabet which appear within the relevant sector to the centre of the register; with green-velvet lined maroon Morocco leather covered protective case fitted with ivorine repeat sector scale to the inside of the lid.The instrument 5.4cm (2.125ins) diameter, 2.3cm (0.625ins) deep; the outer case 6.5cm (2.25ins) diameter. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century. This design of pocket barometer incorporates Negretti & Zambra's Weather Forecaster (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 against the steel pointer on the dial, as well as allowing the correction for altitude (by rotating the rear cover so that the arrow lines up with the correct level on the scale engraved on the side of the case), the weather can be forecast by reading the letter that appears within the appropriate sector in the centre of the dial taking into account whether the pressure has been rising, falling or remaining steady and the season (summer or winter). Another example is Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs on page 87, with a full description of its operation on page 89. Condition Report: Instrument is in working condition (will respond to change in pressure with a 'bag test'). It is currently reading on the high side so will require calibrating. The mechanical setting adjustments (bezel, rear cover and crown) are fully operational. he dial has some slight mellowing to the silvering but is free form visible defects. Case is almost pristine with minimal wear to the gilding. The protective case is also in very fine condition.Condition Report Disclaimer

A RARE LACQUERED BRASS TABLE WEATHER FORECASTING CALCULATORNEGRETTI AND ZAMBRA, LONDON, CIRCA 1915Formed as three discs, the outer calibrated in inches for the barometer reading to the top edge and for wind direction to the lower edge, the middle ring is inscribed STEADY, RISING and FALLING incorporating selections for SUMMER or WINTER for lining up with the wind direction scale, the centre with instructions for use, sector revealing appropriate weather forecast and inscribed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, LONDON, PATENT, 6276, 1915, the rear a graduated pair of twin knurled discs for adjusting the scales set beneath an bridge to centre and stamped 25 twice to rim; in original velvet lined canvas wallet type case with folded instruction pamphlet.The instrument 12cm (4.5ins) diameter. The firm of Negretti & Zambra are recorded in Banfield, BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as being established in 1850 when a partnership between Enrico Negretti and Joseph Warren Zambra was formed. The firm became one of the most prolific makers of scientific instruments and continued trading well into the 20th century. An example this type of weather forecasting calculator is illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs on page 81 and is fully described on page 82. The design was patented by Negretti and Zambra in 1915 using actual weather observations over a ten year period and was said to be 80% accurate by the manufacturers. The present example utilises knurled discs set beneath a bridge to the rear to adjust the scales rather than the usual simple tab thumb pieces seen on other examples. This detail, together with the stamped number 25 to the rim, would suggest that it is a particularly early example (number 25) utilising a relatively complicated system for adjustment (from a production point of view) which was subsequently simplified for later models.

LOVI, EDINBURGH, CIRCA 1790The circular solid satinwood box enclosing sixteen (out of an original compliment of nineteen) small counterweighted glass bulbs each annotated with scripted numbers to upper surface and supported within a pierced red felt lined bed, the interior of the lid with printed paper providing a numbered key for gauging the alcohol content of various sprits indistinctly inscribed Hydrorostatic Balls for Proving Spirits, (The Beads will sink to the bottom of the Glass, according to the direction.) to the upper margin and Made and Sold by A. LOVI, Niddery's Street, EDINBURGH to the lower. The box 8.5cm (3.375ins) diameter, 3.3cm (1.25ins) approx. cm high. Angelo Lovi is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS & RETAILERS 1660-1900 as a 'specific gravity bead maker' working from Niddery Street, Edinburgh from 1772 before moving to 83 South Bridge by 1804 and then 16 South Bridge. This type of alcohol spirit hydrometer, which are sometimes called philosophical bubbles or gravity beads, appear to have mostly been made by Scottish makers with other examples by the likes of J. Heron of Greenock and Telfer and Affleck of Glasgow known. The present lot is notable in that it originally contained a high number of beads (nineteen) whilst most other sets appeared to comprise of around a dozen or less. Condition Report: There are three bulbs missing, the sixteen present are in fine condition with legible numbering, The baize lining to the bed has some moth damage otherwise is in fair condition retaining strong colour. The box has a slight warp to the lid which also has a slight area of flattening-off to the edge at one point and a couple of light bumps and knocks; there are no problematic splits evident and the lid which slides-on securely but not tightly. The exterior surface polish is degraded/worn hence would benefit from the attention. Condition Report Disclaimer

NO. 6276/15, the rear is annotated with 26 sectors describing a weather forecast beside a letter of the alphabet, in original card box with instructions titled WEATHER FORECASTER, (2).The panel 32.5cm (12.75ins) high, 18.5cm (7.25ins) wide; the pocket forecaster 5.5cm (2.25ins) diameter. The design of the first item in the present lot was almost certainly devised by Miss E.W. Pilkington who was the Borough Meteorologist for the area around Buxton 1923-62, and appears to be based on the principals first incorporated by Negretti and Zambra into their 'weather forecaster' patented in 1915, an example of which is also included in the lot. Negretti and Zambra's design used actual weather conditions over a ten-year period and was said to be 80% accurate by the Manufacturers. By setting the wind direction and barometer reading on the outer two scales, the weather can be forecast by reading the letter that appears within the appropriate sector in the centre of the dial taking into account whether the pressure has been rising, falling or remaining steady and the season (summer or winter).

A LATE VICTORIAN WATKIN PATENT EXTENDED SCALE ANEROID SURVEYING/MINING BAROMETERJ. HICKS, LONDON, CIRCA 1880The 3.5 inch circular silvered register with three concentric scales calibrated in millimetres of mercury divided into half millimetre increments and annotated every ten millimetres from 63 - 69 for the inner scale, 69 -74 for the middle and 74 -79 for the outer, and reverse altimeter scale divided into 2.5 foot increments annotated every one hundred feet from 1900 - 1200 for the inner track, 1200 - 600 for the middle and 600 - 0 for the outer, with aperture at six o'clock revealing white line on a black ground for indicating which of the three tracks is currently providing the correct reading, and the centre inscribed WATKIN PATENT, Compensated, No. 64, J. HICKS. MAKER, LONDON, in glazed cylindrical lacquered brass case with suspension loop.10cm (4ins) diameter, 4.5cm (1.75ins) deep. James Joseph Hicks is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Hatton Garden, London from 1861 until after 1900. He was a committed Catholic who presented various meteorological instruments to the Vatican receiving the title of Knight Commander of St. Gregory for his services. The design of the scale together with rotary indicator of the present lot was patented by Major Henry Samuel Spiller Watkin of the Royal Artillery on 11th March 1886 (No. 3425). Watkins design incorporates gearing to enable the pointer to rotate three times throughout the range of the instrument. This allows the scale to be amplified hence small changes in air pressure can be detected. In order for the user to know which of the three concentric scales are providing the correct reading an indicator is provided. This takes the form of a white line on a black background visible through an aperture which, through mechanical connection to the motionwork, the white line will appear to move left-to-right depending on the revolution of the pointer.
