Today I started posting an extensive weather instrument catalog from the early 1960s from Lambrecht of Germany. I am posting the catalog sheets in segments based on the type of instrument described. I'll have it all scanned and posted in about a week.

See Lambrecht catalog page.

A also added an Ambient Weather storm glass to the instrument collection on the website. I chose to fill it with mineral oil rather than water, because mineral oil has a much lower vapor pressure so it doesn't evaporate much. For $13 plus shipping it was a novel addition to the collection.

Today I scanned and posted a 32 page catalog from the US instrument manufacturer and distributor Swift & Anderson.  I believe it is from the late 1950s as it is catalog #600 and Swift & Anderson changed their name to Swift Instrument Company in 1959.

I also added a 1939 catalog of R Fuess thermographs and hygrothermographs to the R Fuess catalog page.  It is 20 pages long.

​See R Fuess catalog page.

I also added a catalog web page for the US weather instrument supplier Verichron.  They supplied home and decorative weather instruments during the 1960s-1980s.
