The upper dial is a dual-scale Fahrenheit and Celsius thermometer; the larger center instrument is an aneroid barometer marked for changing weather conditions; and the lower dial measures relative humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restrained dark wood and aged brass give the piece considerably more character than the familiar later plastic weather stations.
