Violet ink for barographs, thermographs, hygrographs and other self-recording instruments with a pen nib. Made to a traditional glycerine formula: it dries slowly in the pen, won't clog the capillary, and lays down a clear, saturated trace on paper charts. It won't dry out during long storage in the instrument's pen. The 15 ml matte black glass bottle blocks light completely and extends the ink's shelf life. The included dropper makes dosing — and, above all, filling the pen — precise and clean: a single drop goes exactly where you want it, with no overflow or splatter. Instructions: Before first use, clean the pen with alcohol to remove any previous ink. Use the dropper to place a drop of ink into the pen; run a thin object or the edge of a sheet of paper between the tips of the pen to draw the ink down to the point.
A decorative cobalt hygrometer postcard that indicates changes in atmospheric humidity by changing colour. The large crystal ball in the illustration acts as the humidity-sensitive element. Its colour changes gradually according to the moisture content of the air, from blue (dry) to pink (humid). The hygrometric coating contains cobalt salts, whose colour responds reversibly to changes in humidity. In drier air the ball becomes blue, while increasing humidity shifts the colour through violet towards pink. The postcard therefore works as a simple traditional chemical hygrometer, while also serving as an unusual decorative reproduction inspired by historical weather-indicating cards. The reverse side of the postcard is completely blank, leaving it suitable for a personal message, display, framing or collection. Size: 10 x 14 cm. Shipping note: If your order contains only one or more postcards, they will be sent by regular mail without tracking.

Replacement recording pen for barographs and other drum-chart recording instruments. Filled with high-quality violet ink, it produces clear, long-lasting traces on recording charts. Designed to fit virtually all self-recording instruments with a rotating chart drum, making it an ideal replacement for worn or dried-out original pens.
A compact safety label designed specifically for mercury barometers. It provides clear handling instructions and hazard information, ensuring that anyone other than the owner—such as movers, restorers, auction staff, or repair technicians—immediately recognizes that the instrument contains mercury and knows how to handle it safely. The label also illustrates the correct transport position to help prevent damage during relocation. Self-adhesive, durable, and ideal for both antique and modern mercury barometers.
A humorous take on one of the oldest traditions of weather forecasting. Instead of mercury, capsules, or electronics, this “barometer” relies on the tail of a remarkably cooperative donkey. Dry tail? Fine weather. Wet tail? Rain. No tail in sight? Fog. The remaining forecasts are equally reliable. Printed on high-quality cardstock, this postcard is fully mailable yet charming enough to keep as a collectible or display alongside a real barometer. A perfect gift for weather enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates scientific humor. Standard postcard size. Shipping note: If your order contains only one or more postcards, they will be sent by regular mail without tracking.
A richly illustrated 300-page book exploring the history, science, and evolution of weather instruments. From Torricelli’s pioneering experiments and the invention of the barometer to aneroid mechanisms, barographs, storm glasses, and the masterpieces of Fabergé, the book combines scientific history, engineering, and the art of instrument making. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, historical engravings, and photographs of rare instruments from the author’s collection. Language: Russian. Signed by the author.
High-quality replacement recording charts for self-recording meteorological instruments, including barographs, thermographs, and hygrographs. Printed on durable chart paper with clear, high-contrast grids for accurate and easy reading. Available in a variety of sizes and measurement scales to fit many classic and modern recording instruments. Unlike most suppliers, who typically sell chart paper only in packs of 100 sheets or more, these charts are offered in convenient packs of 10 sheets. The listed price is for 10 charts. This is an ideal solution for collectors and restorers—most collectors are not professional meteorologists and simply want to return an instrument to its proper working appearance. For occasional use, ten charts are more than enough without the expense of purchasing a large commercial pack.
