Item Detail

Barometer Cane (8720)

This isn't an important gadget, because the mechanism isn't part of the cane itself, but it has a number of interesting points. The first point is that the handle is made from white brass and signed, W.M. The barometer fits the container perfectly, and works well. Nice Malacca shaft that's original to the handle. Almost every barometer is a different size and will not fit in the watch container canes that are quite common. These barometers were made, to my knowledge, only in Europe. I have never seen an American one. This one says compensirt on the dial with a trademark below. These weren't used to tell whether a storm was coming, as much as knowing, how high above sea level they were walking. The higher up the less oxygen, so it was important to know.
