1916 SIKES HYDROMETER Set+Spirit Table Book~Brass Weights &Blake Ruler

Hi Ebayers! I’m pleased to offer this wonderful old Hydrometer set. The wooden box or case contains the brass hydrometer with various brass weights. It also has the original T.O. Blake (Sikes Hydrometer Ltd) conversion ruler and a mercury thermometer on a cream material. It is stamped W. REEVES LONDON. The box is lined with satin and velvet. The set comes with a hardcover book titled, SPIRIT TABLES FOR SIKES HYDROMETERS which dates from 1916.  This set was used to determine the strength of spirits and was issued under the authority of the Commissioners of H. M. Customs and Excise.

The box measures 20.6 cm or 8 ¼ inches long and with the book weighs over 1 kg unpacked. The hydrometer set is in very good condition but the book is showing its age. It is still readable. I have a money back return policy if not satisfied so bid with confidence!

A NICE COLLECTABLE SPIRIT HYDROMETER SET FOR YOU TO CONSIDER.

It will be posted but pick up is available from Noosa, Qld. I DO combine items for some big savings on postage on the additional items. I basically charge Australia Post costs plus $1.00 per item. Therefore, it may only cost an extra $1.00 to post small additional items.

The photos form part of my description, so please email me if you have any questions. Check out my other items!  I have been told I have an interesting range of items!!
