Description
**Nautical Ship's Wheel Barometer and Table Lighter Set**
This is a vintage nautical-themed barometer housed in a ship's wheel design, made in Germany as indicated by the "Made in Germany" marking visible on the brass back plate. The barometer features a brass mechanism with weather indicators ranging from "Stormy" and "Rain" to "Change," "Fair," and "Very Dry" on a cream-colored dial face. The ship's wheel frame appears to be made of dark wood or composite material with eight brass spoke handles. The barometer measures approximately 8-9 inches in diameter.
Accompanying the barometer is a decorative table lighter with an ornate, bulbous design featuring embossed scroll and bead patterns. The lighter appears to be made of pewter or silver-plated metal with a hinged flip-top mechanism. It measures roughly 3-4 inches in height and width.
Both items show moderate vintage wear consistent with mid-20th century manufacturing (likely 1950s-1970s). The barometer shows some patina on the brass elements and minor wear to the wooden wheel, while the lighter displays typical surface wear and patina. The barometer's glass face appears intact with some minor spotting or aging visible in the mechanism area.
**Estimated Value:** $75-150 USD for the set. This estimate is based on typical resale values for vintage German-made nautical barometers ($50-100) and decorative table lighters ($25-50) in similar condition. The nautical theme and German craftsmanship add modest collectible appeal.
