Retro 1950s German Black Forest musical weather house
Good condition, plays a tune when wound
Postage: R40
Before weather forecasting was common, weather houses like this traditional Black Forest chalet were popular.
When the air is moist (high humidity), a fibre string inside the house expands and lets the man come out of the door indicating bad weather. If the air is dry (low humidity), the fibre string shrinks, pulling the man in and letting the woman come out of the house, indicating good weather.
A thermometer with both Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is mounted on the center of the weather house. Hand made and hand painted in the Black Forest of Germany.
