Barometers Realm

This mid-20th-century Wetterhäuschen by the German brand Joggili is a decorative hygrometer designed in the form of a wooden alpine chalet. The chalet features a classic shape with a gabled roof adorned with a pattern resembling shingles. The exterior walls are decorated with vertical wooden slats and window shutters painted red with heart-shaped cutouts. Below the window, a decorative garland made of greenery and red berries adds charm to the design. Inside the openings of the house, there are two plastic figures: on the left, a man wearing a black coat and a red vest, holding a small umbrella in his left hand, and on the right, a woman dressed in traditional attire with a red hat. At the front of the chalet, two plastic deer figures—a doe and a fawn—are positioned on a green plastic base designed to imitate grass and flowers. Small decorative plastic fir trees are placed on either side of the house. At the center, a thermometer is mounted on a cardboard backing, which displays temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius, with clearly printed scales for each. A bright yellow plastic adjustment knob resembling a chimney protrudes from the roof and allows fine-tuning of the mechanism.
