Galileo Thermometer 17" Made in Germany

Description

This attractive glass pillar is a simple, fairly accurate indoor thermometer, based on scientific concepts invented by Galileo in the early 1600s. Don't confuse this model with cheap imitations made in China--this one is hand-blown in Germany and is a top quality scientific and gift item. It's beautiful and it's actually very accurate for indoor temperatures from 64-80 degrees Fahrenheit. SHORT SCIENTIFIC SUMMARY OF HOW IT WORKS: It has to do with the density of the liquid in the tube compared to the density of the glass bubbles, and gravity. It measures 17" high 3 1/2" diameter.
It is new and never used but its box has water damage.  She photos.
