Antique Art Nouveau Lady Thermometer Bronze?

We purchased this gorgeous antique piece at an estate auction and it is just fabulous! It stands 9 1/2" high and I think it is made of bronze, could be brass, but a magnet does not stick, and the patina is wonderful. We removed the thermometer to replace the glass mercury piece and we found a number impressed behind the plate (see photo). The plate with the numbers is quite worn and it has on the right side a B and left side an F in fancy script. The letters are R & F, which was the Reaumur & Fahrenheit temperature scales that were originally being displayed. We replaced the mercury thermometer with an old glass one we had. The cotter pins that hold this in place is a little loose but I think it is in fantastic condition and very old. This is a superb example of Art Nouveau and a real find for a collector! (this is quite heavy). ID=ANTQ1

In 1897, the Harry Northwood Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania (which later moved to Wheeling, West Virginia) introduced ivory custard glass with its hugely successful Louis XV pattern, and followed through in 1899 with swift introductions of the now-classic Intaglio, Geneva, Inverted Fan & Feather, and Pagoda patterns in custard glass (from Harry Northwood: The Wheeling Years 1901-1925, Antique Publications: Marietta, OH, 1991, p. 132).
