Pocket Barometer by Martin & Co Cheltenham England in Original Leather Case

19th century
Description

Pocket Barometer by Martin & Co Cheltenham England in Original Leather Case. The barometer is in astonishing original condition, it looks as if it has never been used. These barometers were often used in the 19th century by travellers, mountaineers and other adventurers. It retains its original leather case, which is also in excellent condition.

The barometer appears in excellent working order.

Martin & Co were almost certainly the retailers rather than makers.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Victorian pocket barometer is a portable aneroid instrument created in the nineteenth century to measure atmospheric pressure and forecast weather changes or determine altitude during travel and surveying.

These instruments were typically constructed with heavy brass cases, silvered metal dials, glass lenses, and fine internal steel or beryllium-copper aneroid mechanisms. They were housed in velvet-lined leather outer cases for protection.

Authentic pieces feature engraved maker details, hand-calibrated pressure and altitude scales on silvered metal dials, reeded bezels, age-appropriate surface oxidisation, and original push-button fitted cases.

Display the barometer open in its original case on a dark timber office desk, bookshelf vignette, or glass display cabinet alongside leather-bound books and brass instruments.

Store the barometer in a dry environment away from moisture and extreme temperature fluctuations. Avoid liquid cleaners on the dial and preserve the original brass patina by dusting gently with a soft cloth.
