Mid-Century Modern Airguide Desk Weather Station

This is a vintage Mid-Century Modern desk weather station manufactured by Airguide Instrument Company, likely dating from the 1950s to early 1960s. The unit features a sleek, rectangular black bakelite or hard plastic housing with decorative stepped 'speed lines' on the lateral sides, which is characteristic of the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne influence on mid-century design. The device sits on a gold-toned or brass-plated metal sled-style base that provides a slight upward tilt for better visibility. The face is protected by a clear acrylic or glass cover and displays three separate instruments: a thermometer on the left measuring Fahrenheit, an aneroid barometer in the center with weather indicators (Stormy, Rain, Change, Fair, Dry), and a relative humidity hygrometer on the right. The background of the face features a light cream/beige color with horizontal silver pinstriping. The central barometer dial displays the 'Airguide' script logo. Condition-wise, the unit appears to be in good vintage state; some minor oxidation is visible on the metal base, and there is slight yellowing to the instrument face common with age. The black housing retains a consistent luster, though fine surface scratches are expected. The hands and brass-colored center caps appear original and intact, suggesting well-preserved internal mechanisms.
