From a closed shipyard, this Wilfrid O. White & Sons Wind Velocity Instrument appears in very good condition. This is the chromed brass display instrument only. It remains in very good condition, retaining almost all of the factory plating- There are numerous photos to show it's details and condition.
Measures 5 1/2" across the back. Marked 'Wilfrid O. White & Sons Inc....New York-Boston-Baltimore...Wind Velocity' on the face. Thick glass is nicely bevelled.
Since I don't have the wind impeller instrument, it is offered as-is, but keep in mind that the shipyard had carefully stored and wrapped this unit.
These Wilfrid O White Instruments wind instruments were extremely expensive. Wilfrid White & Sons were major makers and retailers of navigation instruments, including sextants, taffrail logs etc. Believe that they may have also manufactured the instruments for the similar Danforth Wind Speed Displays. Great to keep on hand as a spare for an existing instrument, or possibly to set up a handsome wind system. It is offered with a very low starting bid.
