WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy – AIRFIELD & SHIP BAROMETER – VERY NICE!

You are bidding on a SUPERB and VERY RARE example of a WW2 Imperial Japanese Navy Barometer (Air Pressure Indicator)!  This was used at airfields, on-board various surface vessels (Destroyers, Battleships, Carriers, etc.), as well as weather stations! 

A barometer is a scientific instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Numerous measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, high pressure systems and frontal boundaries.Made of brass, aluminum, and steel, this piece is of late-war manufacture. Though it has some marks, scratches, and wear due to the age, it still retains 95% of its original finish! All data information is printed on the dial, and data plate, indicating type & manufacture, date (May 1944), and production number. It is mechanically functional, however it will most likely need to be calibrated/adjusted for accuracy. Brought back by a US Veteran,

this indicator is VERY RARE, and would make a PERFECT addition to any  collection or display!
