Old Fitzgerald barometer

Hi Joshua,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
There are restrictions on selling mercury, which is why many auction houses decline to sell them but your barometer is quite similar to one that sold for $180 in 2021 (https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/111259837_antique-mason-and-sullivan-admiral-fitzroy-s-barometer)
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
