Worboys Antiques has dated this piece to the 1850s.
It is signed by the maker, J. Newman of 122 Regent Street, London.
John Frederick Newman worked in Regent Street 1827-1862.. He made standard hand portable barometers for The Ross Antarctic expedition and his equipment was installed all over the British Empire. He invented several devices, exhibited at the Great Exhibition and was "without doubt, the leading scientific barometer maker of his day". A testament to this was that his business was taken over by Negretti and Zambra in 1862.
