French Ministry of War Barometer

This is my first post so bear with me on this.

Does anyone know anything about antique barometers? Specifically French barometers? My family has had this antique French Ministry of War barometer in our house for years and years but we have no idea when it was made or when we obtained it. In all honesty we know nothing about it at all aside from the fact that it is French. We know this because it says Ministre de la guerre on its face. But that's all we know so I would greatly appreciate any help!

I unfortunately do not have any pictures at the moment but I just wanted to see if anyone would have any insight on antique barometers. If people seemed interested I can post some pictures next time I return home!

Thank you all so much

 

Even if we here have no knowledge what so ever.....there are several members who's skill at research is legendary .....and some even have catalogs , & research material you'll never find on the world wide web......

So ya.....post some good clear ...under 1MB....photos....front and back.....& turn us loose on this puppy !!!

 

I know barometers.

 

I never meant to suggest otherwise.......only that even if no one here did......we are very easily motivated to find out about them...

 

My comment was just information for the OP, no relation to your more general post.

 

Oh....I thought they were .......in the same family......

Bawwhawhawhaw !!!!!

 

I'm heading back home next Friday so I will be sure to post some pictures ASAP! Glad this post is gaining traction!

Thank you again.
