I have since found a few examples of similar configuration that are referred to as "barometers" or "weather houses

It appears that at one time it was covered entirely in gold paint or gold leaf

Antique Hand-drawn Postcard, Boy with Elephant and Frog black glass pin cube I have since found aQuite a charmer of a hand drawn postcard I think, dated 1910, executed in red and black ink on card, with a printed Canada postcard back. I love everything about this boy (look at those lines for bangs), but especially his strangely shaped right hand! And then how the blades of grass around the frog read also ike a burst of electricity as the boy points to it. All while the lonely elephant at upper right wanders away. 5 1 2 x 3 3 8". Very good
