The paper scale has an overpaste with metric divisions; scale with maker/retailer name as indicated. The case itself has remarkable detail, a resting eagle at top, mountain goat in the center, both the thermometer and barometer flanked by edelweiss (with couple of tips missing), and with ferns and other plants filling in the background. This item has survived well, but is fragile, and will require special packing. Height 22 inches
