Vintage Airguide Compensated Barometer | Fee & Stemwedel Chicago USA Weather Instrument

Bring classic mid-century scientific style and nautical nostalgia into your space with this vintage Airguide Compensated Barometer, manufactured in Chicago, Illinois by Fee and Stemwedel, Inc.

The dial features a dual-reading scale displaying atmospheric pressure in both Inches of Mercury (28 to 31) and Millibars (940 to 1060), complete with traditional weather prediction indicators: RAIN, CHANGE, and FAIR. An open circular window at the center reveals a fascinating peek at the brass internal aneroid mechanism.

Housed in a solid round metal casing, this weather instrument is perfect as a decorative accent for a bookshelf, mantel, home office, gallery wall, or nautical/industrial decor theme. It also serves as a great restoration candidate or prop piece.
