Vintage Ships Wheel Barometer

I hate to part with this BUT I'm consolidating and selling off what I don't need to become a saltwater snowbird. I've had it for over 30 some years and it's been on two different boats but I have no room on this (my last) boat. So it has to go with a lot of my other prized possessions.

It's a Salem compensated Barometer and it still keeps good measurements. It's a thick bronze outer shell w/solid outer pieces. It weighs 5.8 lb. (2.63 Kg). It has a 4" face and is 9" dia. OA X 2.75" thick. It's a nice show piece and is similar to the ones in the JFK Library.

I'd like to get $250 for it to help pay for all the new electronics that I'm installing on the boat. Surely this Icon must be worth a GPS antenna.
