Description

Large antique altimeter, poss military observation balloon.
The altimeter measures 69mm diameter excluding the stem and the loop, so larger than the standard 50mm size.
It is believed that an altimeter of this size would have been used aboard an observation balloon during the first World War… the observer would have worn thick gloves so a larger altimeter would have been easier to handle.
Identical altimeters were manufactured by Thomas Watson Scientific Instruments Ltd, a London based optical and scientific instrument manufacturer and this is probably one of their pieces.
The altimeter is functioning although has not been tested for accuracy.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us regarding international shipping.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases up to £300 can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the 'Purchase Antique' button on each listing page. Alternatively, there is a Paypal payment link if you scroll down the page and we also accept bank transfers.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
