Important Barometer Info

During our ongoing education and research, I have discovered an alarming trend with barometers. A number of states have banned the sale of any items that contain or can use mercury, ie. barometers. This ban started in New England and is slowing spreading across the country. It is important to know that Virginia has NOT passed a ban. At this point, we can still restore and sell barometers.

Our inventory contains four banjo barometers and one stick, three are in working order.

If you are a collector or have a desire to own a barometer, I strongly urge you to consider making that purchase while you still can.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. (804) 794-8472 or by E-mail at jgates@gatesantiques.com
