A RARE GEORGE III CASED SET OF GLASS HYDROMETER BULBSA. 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

Measuring Stick. At first this cane appears just that—a 43”long dark wood cane with a small circular cap. Possibly a measuring stick of some sort. However close inspection show scales marked down either length of the stick .Fairly difficult to read due to age (no nicks or knocks) but still decipherable. These are two scales read 0—42 at 1”intervals 0—160 at ever decreasing intervals. It also carries the following markings-- “ J LONG MAKER 43 EASTCHEAP LONDON. (Joseph Long was a very well known active mathematical, optical, slide rules & hydrometer instrument maker who traded at 20 Little Tower St. (1821-84) & 43 East Cheap (1885-1936) London, England,). The relationship between the stick’s two scales is not obvious. However plotting a graph of one scale against the other ( 0-42 vertical and 1-160 horizontally) results in a what appears to be a quarter ellipse. Thus the stick can be used to plot out ellipses of any size required. Possibly use would range from assisting architectural/engineering drawings to setting out arches in buildings to ornamental elliptical shaped flower beds! Thus a very clever item whose use could easily be overlooked. (However any other possible relationship between the two scales is unknown).
