1950s Fischer Brass Desk Top Aneroid Barometer

This is a beautiful 1950s Fischer Brass Desk Top Aneroid Barometer by one of the best names in the business, Fischer of Germany.

In very good working condition with some surface scuffs and blemishes in accordance with age and use. I can't attest to its accuracy.

The pressure is measured in Torr (730-790) and Mbar (970-1060). 1 Torr = 1.33322 Mbar

The black face is marked with gold lettering including; Fischer, the units of measure, Sturm (storm), Veränderlich (Changeable), and Schön (Sun), Auf Meereshöhe bezogen (Based on Sea level)

Approximate Size:

• Face Diameter: 10cm (4")
  
• Height: 11.5cm

Fischer has much experience of recording barometric pressure, and one of their claims to fame is the manufacture and supply of altimeters for Stuker dive-bombers in WW2!
