Double pointer, the first one directly connected to the barometric tube indicates the trend of atmospheric pressure, the second one, positioned inside the center of the protective glass, is operated by a small knob placed outside the glass to check the variation in pressure over time; complete with alcohol thermometer with double Centigrade and Fahrenheit scale. Height 94 cm - 37 inches, width 26.3 cm - 9.29 inches, depth / thickness 6 cm - 2.36. Very good condition, fully functional. For safety during transport the barometer will be shipped emptied of mercury. The mercury will be placed in a sealed container in the package together with the barometer.

When it was discovered, that changes of atmospheric pressure are connected to changes of weather, barometers became very popular. Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, Galileo’s disciple, was the fist one in 1643 to make an instrument for measure changes of air pressure.
