​This Yanagi Type 6 marine barometer was made by the Yanagi Instrument Company in Tokyo in 1983. Not quite as large as the Type 8 (it has a 5.5 inch dial face), it is nevertheless a heavy, sturdy instrument. I bought it from the ship breakers in India. It's a precision instrument and works quite well. Intended for shipboard use close to sea level, the calibration adjustment does not have sufficient range for it to read sea level pressure at my 720 ft (220 m) elevation. I keep it set at local pressure at my elevation.
