case, in excellent original condition. This case has a hunting theme, with a retriever's head at top, the thermometer flanked by a dead rabbit and pheasant, the lower surround of vines, leaves and plums. The Centigrade thermometer at top has a white porcelain scale, from -10 to +50Ü. The barometer has a large printed paper scale, providing a view of the Aneroid mechanism, and seems to be indicating properly. The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding are some hairline cracks across the thermometer scale. Height 36 inches
