On offer is an antique brass salinometer boiler test pot dating from the late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Made from solid brass and fitted with its original ebony handle, this cylindrical vessel was used aboard steam powered ships to collect boiler water for salinity testing, an essential process in maintaining efficient and safe marine engines.

Salinometer test pots were an important part of maritime engineering during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, used alongside a salinometer or hydrometer to monitor salt levels and prevent damaging scale inside steam boilers. This unmarked example retains an attractive original patina and remains in good antique condition with no damage or repairs. A fine example of maritime engineering history that brings character and authenticity to any collection or interior.
