This mysterious HMS Beagle Storm Glass Weather Predictor & Plaque Set has been used since 1750 when famous sailor and meteorologist Admiral Robert Fitzroy used the HMS Beagle Storm Glass Weather Predictor aboard the HMS Beagle during his historic voyage with Darwin. After 250 years, how the Storm Glass works is still a mystery, but it is believed that it has to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by the weather. If the liquid is clear, the weather will be fair and dry; if the liquid is cloudy, the weather will be overcast and possibly rainy. The sealed glass chamber is encapsulated in a beautifully crafted brass cylinder and measures approx 1 1/2" diameter x 5 3/4" high. The decorative base may be secured to a horizontal surface and converts to a wall mounting system, brackets included. Beautifully gift-boxed in a black presentation box. Includes engraved wood plaque and instructions. Makes an exceptional gift for someone who appreciates the uncommon. (#9A159) A ComputerGear exclusive. Item in stock unless noted above.
