Sturdy Vintage Brass Marine Anemometer – Authentic Wind Direction Gauge

Feel the pull of real maritime history with this impressive vintage brass anemometer. Made mostly from solid brass with deliberate little casting flaws that show its sea-going past, it weighs a satisfying 10.8 kg. The polished metal and sensitive propeller give it far more presence than lightweight modern gauges.

Originally fitted on cargo ships to measure wind speed and direction, this anemometer has been stripped of old paint and carefully polished. The blades spin easily – even if you just blow gently on them – while the arrow shows where the wind is coming from. No maker marks or dates, but it has that genuine retro feel just shy of full antique status.
