Description
**Vintage Springfield Weather Station/Barometer**
This is a wooden weather station featuring a circular barometer/hygrometer gauge made by Springfield. The item consists of a honey-colored wood mounting board with a rounded paddle-like shape and an integrated hanging hole. The gauge displays dual measurements with "UMIDITÀ" (humidity) on the left side and what appears to be barometric pressure readings on the right, with numerical scales ranging from approximately 30-110. The face features a decorative sun motif in the center and two black indicator hands.
The wooden case shows a warm amber/honey finish with visible wood grain and appears to be made of hardwood, possibly oak or similar. Based on the proportional context with the fabric background, the item measures approximately 12-14 inches in height × 5-6 inches in width × 1 inch in depth. The gauge itself appears to be about 3-4 inches in diameter.
The condition shows moderate age-related wear with some surface scratching on the wood, minor discoloration on the gauge face, and what appears to be light patina on the metal bezel. The "UMIDITÀ" marking suggests Italian origin or European manufacture, likely dating from the 1960s-1980s based on the styling and construction. The back view shows mounting holes and a simple, utilitarian finish consistent with mid-century consumer weather instruments.
**Estimated Value: $25-45 USD** - Based on typical resale values for vintage decorative weather stations. Springfield was a common brand for affordable home weather instruments, and while this shows character and functionality, it falls into the collectible/decorative category rather than precision instrument class.
