Primitive Vintage Wall Mount Hand Blown Weather Glass Barometer Brass Copper:
$24.99

I stopped by one of my favorite winter antique stores where the deals a plenty, and also made a quick early bird trip to a small local flea market, and I’m still listing sale as well as barn sale items this week. There’s something for everyone – and lots of it, too!

loveLoveLOVE this one - you just don\'t see these very often! What I have is a vintage, used, hand blown glass weather barometer. It comes with a brass wall hanging bracket (but really, if you have your own primitive or special hook, it could hang from that too), as well as instructions for what it does when in use, how to fill it and how to install it. I don\'t know if the instructions are original - my guess is not, but it\'s hard to tell as I do not have the original box. You can see that it\'s been folded in the center, but it\'s totally legible for use. The print for the insructions can be seen in photos 3 and 4 - the backside is black, so what you read is what you get! The mounting hook/bracket is made from solid brass, and as you can see from my photos, it has two brass hooks taped to the underside of the well of the bracket - it\'s as found, I have not taken anything off, so you will need to remove the tape from the underside. The round well at the bottom of the bracket that goes under the glass has almost a copper color to it in the right light - that may be copper, it\'s hard for me to tell, though, so please see my photos and what you think. It has an age darkened patina, with light spots and dark spots for sure(especially at the top of the well as you can see in photo 11), and spots of green oxidation on the top where I\'m assuming it got wet. As this piece has been used, it could use a little cleaning, but it\'s not bad at all, and I don\'t think really necessary. The glass shows some dust and fingerprints and the inside has light opaque residue in spots - see photos 8-10. If anything, maybe a rinse out, but again, you have to look closely to really notice it. The piece - both pieces, are in excellent solid and sturdy condition structurally. The brass shows some light scratching and a patina that has some age darkening. It has two screw holes for those two screws to go into when you mount on a wall or post. The glass is clear and is in great shape, with no cracks, nicks or issues that I can find. I so love the simple blown glass shape. The brass bracket measures 12 1/2" tall, 11 5/8" from the top to the round well (the extra height is from the loop of the bracket under that well). It\'s 1/2" wide at the back where the screw holes are, and the well is 3" diameter. It weighs just over 1/4 lb. The blown glass piece measures 9 3/4" tall, 3 3/4" widest at the body and 3 3/4" deepest back to spout, with the body of the glass alone being 2 5/8" deepest. It\'s light, at right at 1/4 lb. I can\'t say enough about this one - Spring is here, so love it and use it (and I\'d hang it outside to get more of that gorgeous oxidation going)!

Customer Satisfaction is extremely important to me. If you receive an item and are not satisfied in any way, please contact me before leaving response.

If you are using a phone or tablet to look at listings, you may not be seeing full descriptions – please make sure you are – I list sizes, condition and many photos on all of my items – so if you are not seeing that, you’re not seeing all I have about the listing.

Please ask if you have any questions, or feel free to inform me if you have any information about one of my listings. As with any of my items, if you ever need extra photos, let me know. My white stool, my rug and anything else that you see other than the item discussed are not included in the sale!

I’m happy to combine shipments for you. If you win an item and plan to offer on another, please hold to pay for the first item and request a combined shipping invoice once you’ve won the other item/s. I do ask that there be no more than 7 days from the purchase of the first item – I will invoice after 7 days as I cannot hold the items longer than that. Please know that some items cannot be combined, though, do to size, weight, or safety of the items. Most items set to ship in USPS FLAT RATE boxes; I cannot combine due to size restrictions. Please look at the shipping alternatives in the listings. I only mail USPS and pack in the best manner that we feel safe – I cannot change shipment methods after the close of an sale (i.e. rolling an old map to save money when I have it set to ship flat), especially if I feel the requested method is not safe. Again, I only ship USPS and charge actual cost to ship only. I ship within one business day of receipt of your payment, unless there’s a holiday that closes the post office, or I will notify you otherwise. As I shop for treasures on the weekends, I most often do not ship on Saturday.

Many of my items come from local rural estate sales and sales. They are coming right from the barn or attic to you - dust, cobwebs and all! I do not clean and polish before I sell – they are in the condition found, as you see in my photos, and I leave the patina exactly as it was when I bought the item. I do my best to photo and describe all thoroughly.

Please email me before offerding if you do not use PayPal, and we can discuss possible payment alternatives. Payment is due within 3 business days after close of sale.

With postage rates increasing regularly, I am shipping more and more items Parcel Select. Parcel Select travels by land or rail and the packages do not leave the regional post office until they fill up a bin going in the same direction (so the estimated delivery is truly only an estimate – not exact). The post office estimates 5-7 days, but it can go up higher, sometimes even 3-4 weeks in peak mailing times like the holidays. I always provide a tracking number, so you can see where your item is on any day.

Sales tax will be added for Illinois buyers.

…and thanks so much for looking, I appreciate having you as a customer!
