A leather cased gilt brass Barometer with a separate Compass and Thermometer.
The Barometer has a fob ring and outer bezel to adjust the altitude scale which is marked from 0 to 4000. The dial is marked 'Compensated' and has a barometric pressure scale from 27 to 31. The Thermometer is marked in both Celsius and Fahrenheit and is wrapped around the central gilt brass and mother of pearl floating compass.
The pocket case can be opened either to one side for the Barometer or the other for the Thermometer and Compass. These are fine instruments, and it is probable that maker left them unmarked so as not to compromise the retailer. Late 19th century.
