Antique Marine 1858 thermometer and Copper holder

Historical Marine 1852 original thermostat and copper holder made in England/London.NEGRETTI&ZAMBRA LONDON.

Google estimates price at R1600 in Cape Town as at 2024. The imitation ones are selling at 25 pounds and they don't have the historical originality and my one reads Fahrenheit and still reads accurately.

Conversation formula is ie eg

(75 F - 32)×5/9 = 24c

It is a original historical Marine item and really exquisite  ♥️

I had applied to England for a valuation.

The specific of this piece is that due to the history and time frame this item is not something that comes on market with regularity and obviously has deep meaning to a collector.

I have had this piece for over 20 years and really am sad to let it go. I only hope that the person who purchases it has the same sincere value and appreciation for its uniqueness. I am only selling as I am a Sassa pensioner and unfortunately have some need of extra finance right now.

I am looking for R1200 for the ietem. But please I will only accept a cash payment and no fancy bank apps etc . I do have my account linked to my cell no and there is no issue in being paid in that manner. You are welcome to arrange for whomever to pick up ietem and pay cash if that suits you better.

I apologize but there have been enough chances already.
