Antique Pyrometer by The Brown Instrument Company

Description

Antique Pyrometer by The Brown Instrument Company. Serial number 24882. Own a piece of steampunk Americana. This venerable old Philadelphia company (later bought out by Honeywell) made one of the first American-made thermodynamic measuring instruments. Comes in a well-seasoned/well-worn wooden case with brass hardware. The measuring needle inside swings freely, but I have no way of knowing if the instrument actually operates as designed. The leather handle is missing, but the brackets are still attached to one side. This is a great collectible for your office, library or den. Selling AS IS with now warranty or guarantee of any kind. Good luck!
