InB4 trash
Another item I got from the estate sale. I paid $20.
I cannot figure it out.
It’s made by Culpeper Instruments. I don’t think this is old enough to be made by Edmund Culpeper, but most likely a company named after him.
It’s made of brass and measures 35” long.

Probably thermometer and pressure gauge

I think the top half used to function as a barometer. Bottom half is obviously a thermometer.

Top is barometer, but missing the mercury tube to measure.

Its a weather station. The tube for the barometer is broken and missing.

Could it be a version of a wet bulb thermometer?
