Antique Instrument Alcohol Meter Aerometer Silver Box Boxwood Goldsmith Strasbourg

  

Antique Instrument Alcohol Scale Hydrometer Silver Box Boxwood Silversmith Strasbourg. This ancient measuring instrument is made of silver. It is a hydrometer or alcohol scale in silver. This model has a constant weight and variable immersed volume, known as Cartier's, and is preserved in its turned wooden box made of boxwood. This instrument is graduated from 0 to 10.

It does not bear a hallmark for Silver. It dates back to the 19th century and carries its original label: Phil. Durand, Goldschmiedt, in Hanergässlein No.

It is a distillery or laboratory instrument for syrups, alcohol, and beer to measure the sugar density of a liquid. In generally good condition, I note wear on the box and traces of oxidation on the instrument.

It measures 9.5 cm x 4.5 cm. Please feel free to contact me for more information or additional photos; I will respond as quickly as possible.
