Weems & Plath Brass Stormglass Set

The Brass Stormglass Plaque is a mysterious weather predictor that is sure to intrigue any sailor. Stormglass instruments have been in use since the 1750s. Changing weather affects the solubility of the mixture of chemicals in the sealed glass tube. Some believe that the changes in crystal structure have to do with the electromagnetic changes caused by weather and sun storms. A mountable plaque makes this display perfect for any room in the home.

Hi, this is Kyle from APS. I'm here to share with you our top sailing gift picks for the home. I'm going to start off with this from Weems and Plath. This is the brass yacht lamp. Don't let its smaller size fool you. It's a solid brass base, very substantial, quite heavy. To access the oil reservoir or to light the wick, you basically just screw the base right off. I'll take it all the way off so I can show you. To fill the reservoir, you just unscrew this, pull it out, pour the oil in. Once you've lit the wick, put the top back on and that's it. After a number of hours, if you had to advance the wick because it's burnt down, there's a little arm you can access here and you can advance the wick up inside the chamber without having to take it apart.

Gives off a nice amount of light in a 360. What's its claim to fame? It's almost like a hurricane lamp or better than. This structure up here is full of baffles and diffusers and you can put this out in a gale and the wind will not get down here to the flame. No flicker, nothing gets blown out, you can put it out, use it wherever you want in the weather. Whether that's out back by the pool, camping, on the boat, what a nice piece. You can use it on a flat surface, or you can hang it. Brass yacht lamp, Weems and Plath.

Getting into timepieces, this is the Endurance time and tide clock. Brass housing, obviously we've got time on the outside, and then the red on the inside is the rise and fall tides. Nice wall mount piece. The Endurance time and tide clock.

This is a bit smaller, but it is very substantial. This is the Weems and Plath Cutter quartz clock. It's in a solid brass housing, three mounting holes, and to access the inter workings, you just undo this solid brass hasp and you can get inside to the quartz clock, to the battery. Very nice substantial piece. Plath Cutter quartz clock.

Here's an interesting piece. This is the storm glass set. These have always been really big sellers here at APS. It's a weather station on the wall. There are crystals in here and depending on the weather, the pressure, they will crystallize in different ways and these are associated with the forecast, whether it's stormy, going to be rainy, clear. They don't tell you what's in here, so it's kind of a mystery, but it works. It's something that's been used for hundreds of years. Imagine putting this on the wall near the front door, the entry or the kitchen door as you're walking out for the day. At a glance you know the weather. What a really interesting conversation piece.

Last, very practical. If you've got a dog, a home with a dog, check these out. These are made in our rigging department. This is double braid polyester that's hand spliced and whipped, uses a solid brass attachment point. What house with a dog wouldn't like a nice nautical leash from APS?
