The box is wonderfully preserved and lets us see the fascinating device while protecting it from the dust and any interferences. The watch movement which makes the record paper spin so the stylus can transfer the data is in perfect working order. The key to wind it up is incorporated under the lid. The barometer has not been tested but it seems to be in good condition. Just by the paper we can see an original mercury thermometer, in good condition and with two scales: Celsius and Farenheit. The barograph is make up of different brass and silvery-metal component parts, all original from the time and well preserved. The drawer contains a good amount of unused millimeter pages and a spare stylus too.
