My thoughts are that it may have been introduced as a domestic copy version of the famous RNLI aneroid barometer given its style of manufacture. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Cambria Math'; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eAn interesting and aesthetically pleasing Victorian example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Cambria Math'; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; color: black; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eCirca 1880.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jason Clarke Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56194858090875,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0250\/8550\/files\/UniversalBarometer1.jpg?v=1775316150","url":"https:\/\/jasonclarkeantiques.co.uk\/products\/victorian-iron-cased-universal-aneroid-barometer","provider":"Jason Clarke Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
