Vintage Swirl Bakelite Art Deco Taylor Baroguide Barometer Butterscotch 20-1974

Description

We have for sale a vintage Taylor Bariguide barometer in Bakelite with a butterscotch Bakelite base. This measures roughly 4-3/4” x 1-1/8” and stands 4” tall. This came from a clean non-smoking estate. There are no chips or cracks in the Bakelite. It does have a very fine hairline crack under the silver adjusting knob on the face of the barometer. I did photograph that for you to take a look at. It is very fine and really it’s not even noticeable. In fact, I did not even notice it until I started to photograph this. We have not tried to clean this or do anything with it. This is exactly the way we received it out of the estate and this is how we will pass it on to you. We also have not tried to adjust it or confirm its accuracy. The base is a beautiful butterscotch color. The body has been up for a little bit of debate. At first I thought it was a brown swirl, then holding it under a incandescent lamp, the green comes out and I thought possibly it might be a green swirl. I’m really not sure at this point, but I can tell you it is a beautiful mixture of brown, orange with a hint of green. Upon purchase and payment, we will very carefully package this for you and get it shipped to you promptly. Please look at all pictures very closely for details as to condition, thanks for looking!
