There are also tiny, superficial marks on the barometer dial face. Please note that the main glass cover over the barometer has a crack that runs from the 3 o’clock position to the 6 o’clock position. This doesn't seem to affect its ability to hold pressure.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e22\" long x 6\" wide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Etobicoke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68078393033068,"sku":"05.11.26LD","price":75.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0576\/4048\/5024\/files\/IMG_2824.heic?v=1793915117","url":"https:\/\/habitatrestore.ca\/products\/vintage-german-gischard-banjo-style-weather-station-a-three-in-one-classic","provider":"Habitat ReStore GTA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
