The inlaid mahogany veneered case is in very nice condition with no veneer damage. The scroll top looks to be restored, but a very nice job. It is need of restoration as the hygrometer is missing, along with the convex mirror and ring. The thermometer appears intact with some fading of figures on the temperature dial. The barometer dial is in good condition with original hands. The knob to set the barometer is missing. The level indicator is empty. The mercury tube appears intact with a small amount of mercury still inside. Height 38"
