You are purchasing a vintage catalin Taylor barometer. The barometer has no cracks or chips and is in nice vintage condition. The base of the barometer is butterscotch in color and is attached by two screws to the upper body of the barometer which is a dark brown with butterscotch/orangish swirls. The lens is clear and the needle turns freely. The back of the barometer shows no rust and has a nice patina which shows the age. The base is 4.75" W and the overall barometer height is 4". The dial is is clearly marked and has a slight patina which ages to the look of this special piece. I am not a meteorologist so I don't really know is this barometer functions correctly. The piece is sold as is a has been in my personal collection with catalin radios.
