This No Reserve Auction is for (1) Aneroid Barometer by Keuffel & Esser Good Condition overall. We are unsure if this piece is in working order. The current weather at the time of the picture was a snowstorm so it might be accurate still. Piece measures 2-5/8" in diameter and 1" thick. T are original Wax paper instructions that come with this piece that was tucked away in back for most of its life. These papers date the sale of this barometer to 1899. The wikipedia Info dates the piece to the 1880's however before the company moved to NJ. The leather case is in very rough shape and the seems to be some metallic green deposit on the back of the barometer. Labeled on the instructions and the Barometer face: "Keuffel & Essex". Taken from Wikipedia: The Keuffel and Esser Co. (also known as K&E) was a drafting company founded in 1867 by German immigrants William J. D. Keuffel and Herman Esser . Keuffel and Esser started out in New York and sold drawing materials and drafting supplies. In 1876, K&E (as the company was known) started selling surveying instruments. A three-story factory in Hoboken, New Jersey was completed four years later, and K&E was incorporated in 1889. See Pictures Check out my other items !
