A storm glass and thermometer on walnut stand J. Blount Thomas & Co, Southampton and Negretti & Zambra, London, circa 1880. The cylindrical glass canister engraved FAIR, Change, STORMY from top to bottom and signed J. Blount Thomas & Co. Southampton to left-hand side beneath brass cap and suspension loop, mounted onto wooden stand beside Fahrenheit scale mercury thermometer with ceramic scale signed NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENT MAKERS, LONDON, 38cm high overall, B.C. Ref. 308; and two wall mounted storm tubes, the first inscribed JOHN DAVIS & CO. FITZROY WORKS, LONDON S.E to the beech backboard and with Fahrenheit scale alcohol thermometer, 21.5cm high overall, B.C.

All illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs pages 144-146. The exact date or by whom the storm glass was invented is unknown but Admiral Fitzroy in his Weather Book of 1863 suggests that they were introduced around 1750. The glass cylinders contain crystals of potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride in an alcohol solution of camphor with some distilled water. In fine weather the crystals are supposed to gather at the bottom of the tube and move upwards prior to and during stormy weather. However, as these instruments were prone to responding to changes in other conditions such as temperature and exposure to sunlight, they were never considered particularly reliable.
