Description
Charming collection of Victorian damp meters. Two are unsigned and come with original morocco cases and the smaller one is by Dolland. These instruments were very popular in the 19th century and often used by travellers who could check if the bed in their lodgings or hotel had been properly aired and not damp. £65 each or £175 for the collection of all three.
