Ad text

The firm Negretti and Zambra was a photographic studio and producer of optical and scientific instruments based in London. 1850 Company founded. Henry Negretti and Joseph Zambra who formed a partnership; the firm would eventually be appointed optical instrument makers to Prince Albert, the Royal Observatory and the British Admiralty. The Company later gained patents to improve on the design and construction of its instruments, and in 1851 gained a patent to make thermometers. My dial is a PSI dial from approx 1950s . This is new/old stock so quite a rare find. I bought locally approx 10 years ago . The ladies father was an engineer for a large company and these had to be kept in stock brand new, in case the ones in place failed. I use the plural as I have this one which is approx 20cm OD and a smaller one to match in a separate listing . I have mounted onto a lovely piece of solid oak and neatly wired with all new period style 3 core wiring on the back. I used a quality vintage style lamp holder on a small brass bracket. Put on a new inline switch and bakelite style 3amp plug. Then independently PAT tested. ThIs and its smaller brother have turned out really well and would look in place anywhere from man cave to hobby room to bar or anywhere in the house as a conversation piece of approx 70 years old.
