Just to share my latest find from flea market to improve boat interior and functionality.
A German-built boat for sure deserves a solid brass German language barometer - see photo for details.

Looks nice, but a very strange scale indeed! 10x Torr (mmHg)? Germany switched to SI in the 1970s, using hPa or millibar

I too had great fortune to find an amazing ships' barometer last week on eBay. It was made by Lilley and Gillie of London. came from a ship wrecker/salvager in India presumably off a decommissioned commercial boat.. It cost me a total of $150 USD delivered by three day Federal Express (free shipping). I've calibrated it and it is spot on accurate and big (7 inch diameter) to see from the galley. A real treasure!
