Old recording barograph, any value?
 

Hello all, firstly may I apologise if this posting is
off-topic for this group.

I have an old recording barograph which is just taking up
cupboard space now. There is no maker's name or model number
and I have no idea how old it is but I've owned it for 45
years and it was old when I got it. It's your standard
clockwork drum, paper chart, 7 aneroid pressure units in a
stack, brass levers and pen on an arm. It's in a glass and
wood case, the glass having bevelled edges.
Now, it is complete not perfect. The aneroid elements have
become disconnected and there are 3 small pieces of wood
missing off the bottom so that it rests on the chart drawer
instead of the drawer sliding in and out. The ink-bottle is
also missing.

Is it of any value to anyone here?
I'm in Southampton.

I am intrested as a restoration project.
I collect barometers and a barograph would be a nice addition.
Have you any idea what you want for it?

Well, I just did a google search on barographs and the one
most like mine had a price tag of 1850 GBP. Now it is not
broken and is complete so I'm not asking that but I'd
_really_ better find out a bit more about what I've got
before saying "yours for a tenner, guv".

Many thanks to all who replied and emailed.
