Another antique store find! This is a Gay-Lussac brand glass “Alcoometre”  for 90-100 proof. There are some printed and some typed content in both English and French on the hydrometer inserts, one of which is “1884”. The previous user placed a painted dot above the 90 proof mark, and I wonder if this was used for Armagnac production.
