SOLAR ivory bakelite desk top barometer with pen rest, 1960s

This desk top barometer probably dates to the 1960s but the company history is unknown. It is a very substantial instrument with a good quality aneroid movement set in an ivory bakelite case. This example is unusual in that the base incorporates a rest for two pens.

The barometer has been fully disassembled, serviced, cleaned and polished and is in excellent overall condition. It is currently set to read pressure at sea-level but will be supplied with instructions on how to adjust to local conditions together with guidance on reading and forecasting.
