Ref. 234. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs page 69. Originally this barometer was made with annotations in Spanish however it has been converted for the U.K. market by overlaying the original scale with a silvered ring with annotations in English, this was probably done soon after manufacture.

Lot 43

A brass table weather forecasting calculator Negretti & Zambra, London, early 20th century Formed 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 annotated for STEADY, RISING and FALLING and 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, with hinged strut to the black crackle finish rear, 12cm diameter, B.C. Ref. 244. An identical example is illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs page 81 and is fully described on page 82. This Forecaster was patented by Negretti & Zambra in 1915 using actual weather conditions over a ten year period and was said to be 80% accurate by the Manufacturers.

Lot 45

A brass aneroid pocket weather foreteller or Weather Watch Negretti & Zambra, London, early 20th century The 2 inch circular silvered register calibrated in inches to the circumference around inner ring adjustable for direction of wind via the knurled bezel and central disc rotating via crown within suspension loop for lining up with the blued steel pointer and pierced with three sectors annotated FALL, STEADY & RISE and inscribed PATENT 6276/15R/137, NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA, the cylindrical case with altimeter scale and pointer for adjustment by turning the rear bezel to align a pointer engraved into the rim, the rear cover is annotated with 26 sectors describing a weather forecast beside a letter of the alphabet which appear within the relevant sector to the centre of the register, 5.4cm diameter, B.C. Ref. 247. This pocket barometer incorporates Negretti & Zambras 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 setting 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). Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Aneroid and Barographs page 87, with a full description of its operation on page 89.

Lot 55

A William & Mary walnut cistern tube stick barometer in the manner of John Patrick Unsigned, circa 1695. With arched pediment and fretwork upright flanked by twist turned columns above silvered herringbone border and foliate engraved two-part break-arch scale with brass setting pointer above cavetto moulded throat and exposed tube flanked by crossbanded veneers and cavetto moulded edge above fretwork flared side panels and half-round ring-turned cistern cover with ogee moulded underside, 120cm high, B.C. Ref. 2. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 17. The decorative hood superstructure which incorporates spiral twist columns emulates the design of longcase clock from the end of the 17th century and bears similarities to examples depicted in John Patricks advertisement of circa 1710 reproduced in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 page 48. Although this configuration appeared to be popular well into the first two decades of the 18th century, Banfield suggests (BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 18) that the use of fretwork in the case indicates a date prior to 1700.

Lot 117

A rare Masonic mahogany syphon tube pillar dial barometer Brace Girdle, London, late 19th century With open centre silvered scale calibrated in inches mounted onto wooden ring with a gilt metal figure of Atlas supporting central boss signed BRACE GIRDLE, LONDON and engraved with the Masonic dividers and rule symbol issuing a blued steel pointer and with gilt setting armature to rear, above gilt Corinthian capital and engine-turned collar to the fluted columnar shaft, on panelled plinth with wide stepped base on brass ogee shaped bracket feet, 116cm high, B.C. Ref. 173. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo pages 110 and 111 and described on page 112. Barce Girdle is recorded by Banfield as working in London circa 1840-60. Banfield illustrates another very similar barometer but with twin dolphins rather than the Atlas figure supporting the central boss which is fronted by a hygrometer.

Lot 125

A fine and rare George III mahogany cistern tube angle barometer Whitehurst, Derby, circa 1775. With square section finial to the cavetto moulded and gadrooned pediment above angled silvered glazed scale calibrated from 0 to 57 with Stormy, RAIN, Changeable, FAIR, Settled Fair predictions and signed Whitehurst, DERBY to left-hand corner of lower edge, within an ogee moulded surround and behind an exposed tube, the caddy moulded trunk with concealed tube and crossbanded borders to the figured veneers, the shaped base with half cylinder turned cistern cover with ring turned girdle and finials to top and bottom, 94cm high, B.C. Ref. 81. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Stick or Cistern Tube page 156. John Whitehurst is recorded by Banfield as being born in 1713 and dying in 1788, he moved to London in 1775 to take the post of Stamper of Money Weights at the Royal Mint, London. It is thought that his brother, James, managed the Derby business until his son, John (2), was old enough to run it. He in turn took his son, also called John (3), into partnership circa 1810 when the business became known as Whitehurst and Son. The partnership continued until 1834 when John (2) died. John Whitehurst senior became friendly with the astronomer and lecturer James Ferguson in London and took active roles within learned societies in the Midlands including Club Thirteen and The Lunar Society where he met Matthew Boulton who became a good friend. This particular barometer relates to a group of three instruments which are comprehensively described in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS 1680-1860 Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers pages 281-283. A fourth example was sold by Sothebys at their sale of the contents of Fawley House, 14th October 2003. The scale calibration appears to be arbitrary however roughly equates to three inches divided into twentieths.

Lot 152

A fine and rare George II walnut syphon tube wheel barometer John Hallifax, Barnsley, circa 1730. With stepped caddy pediment above moulded cornice and book-matched veneers to trunk centred by a 7.5 inch circular register calibrated in inches and also divided 0-30 corresponding to the decimal divisions of the barometric inches, the foliate engraved brass centre signed John Hallifax Barnsley Inv:t fecit, within ogee moulded bezel above applied recording ring with two blued steel pointers to the rounded base, 114cm high, B.C. Ref. 119. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo page 18. John Hallifax is recorded by Banfield as being born in 1694 and dying in 1750. His father was the vicar of Springthorpe, Lincolnshire. It is probable that John Hallifax moved to Barnsley to set up business as a clockmaker, where he became very highly regarded within the locality soon after his fathers death in 1711. Perhaps the best known barometers from Hallifaxs workshop are those that take the form of a longcase clock (see following Lot), however several of the current examples form are known, perhaps the best known being one presently housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum which is illustrated and described in Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers page 158. The current example benefits from having an attractive stepped caddy pediment rather than the simple domed pediment seen on almost all other known examples and the relatively restrained design is enhanced by the use of book-matched veneers on the trunk.

Lot 153

A fine inlaid mahogany longcase clock form syphon tube dial barometer J. Hallifax, Barnsley, circa 1770. With swan neck pediment and turned hood pilasters flanking hinged break-arch glazed door enclosing a 6 inch brass register with matted centre within silvered ring calibrated in inches and also divided 0-30 corresponding to the decimal divisions of the barometric inches, the angles with mask and scroll cast spandrels beneath circular boss signed J. Hallifax BARNSLEY Inv. & fecit flanked by conforming mounts, the trunk with cavetto moulded throat above two floral oval paterae centred inlaid panels divided by circular inset brass recording chapter ring centred by an eight-pointed parquetry star, the plinth base with conforming panel inlay centred by a marquetry rosette, 112cm high, B.C. Ref. 120. Illustrated in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETERS Wheel or Banjo page 20 and described on page 22. John Hallifax is recorded by Banfield as being born in 1694 and dying in 1750. The business was continued by his fifth son, Joseph, who died in 1762, his fourth son, George, had moved to Doncaster by 1750 where he set up business as a clockmaker, twice becoming Mayor. John Hallifax produced many examples of this highly individual form of barometer throughout the first half of the 18th century, almost all surviving examples are veneered in walnut and have stepped caddy pediments to the hood. See Goodison, Nicholas English BAROMETERS Part II Some Important Makers and Retailers pages 157-159. Banfield suggests that this barometer was possibly made by George Hallifax using surplus components after his brother Josephs death in 1762.
