Barometer der Weinstube Schicketanz Novelty Postcard
Cat. No. PC-2026-033
A distinctive Central European variation on the humorous rope barometer, here adapted specifically to the atmosphere of a Tyrolean wine tavern.
The card reproduces a rustic sign from the Weinstube Schicketanz in Kufstein. Instead of using an animal’s tail as the mock measuring element, the joke is built around a simple hanging rope. The text explains that the state of the rope indicates the weather: when it moves, the weather is windy; when it is wet, it is raining; when stiff, it is frozen; and when seen double, the observer has evidently consumed too much alcohol.
