Description

Antique Hydrometer & 1824 Book "Sike's Hydrometer & Table" Dring Fage
- This antique set includes: 1) the 1824 book and table about the hydrometer and British Act of Parliament; and 2) boxed antique hydrometer, weights, and thermometer.  The book is dated:  1824, Second Edition.  I do not know the age or maker of the hydrometer set but I found it with the book at an estate sale.  I believe it is of similar to the book, namely, 19th century. ( A helpful Ebayer believes the maker may be Dicas. )
- See photos or ask questions prior to purchase.  Item sold AS IS.
- Condition:  Book is in good condition for being 200 years old.  Hydrometer, thermometer, and weights are in "as is" condition.  I do not know if the instrument is functional or accurate.  It appears that 4 of the brass weights are missing but I do not know which weights are missing.  Top of wood box is in poor condition; separated at joints and lining is torn exposing cotton beneath.  See photos.
