This little guy caught my eye this week.
Listed as a Atomic Retro Era West German Sputnik Type Barometer Weather Station c1960’s (to find on eBay, search for the before mentioned text).
The description calls it a ‘mix of science and modernist design’ to which I would agree, however I definitely think it has that ‘Steampunk’ look to it also. The perspex globe, the compass points , the brass components contrasting against the brushed aluminum gauge faces help make this desk weather station a quirky, unique and unusual piece.
How great would this look sitting on your office desk? A certain conversation starter!
Price? Currently sitting at $15.50 with 4 days remaining.
When searching international eBay auction results prices vary, anywhere from £20 all the way up to £200. Bargain…………….at the moment, but we’ll see where it ends up!
