Voltmeter

AS AN ELECTRICIAN I WOULD LOVE TO ADD THAT TO MY OLD STUFF COLLECTION. NICE.

Dont blame you Glenn! Like the button on the bottom that resembles a doorbell.

This is so cool looking...do you think it would still work Glenn?

Been around a lot of voltmeters and never saw one like that.

shocking

There's something about how the light shines on the voltmeter.


*saves the pic*

Looks like it comes from "Good Old Sparky" the Electric Chair.

Its at zero and thats all that matters hah.
its a nice looking gauge tho.

but this meter goes to 11

That is really cool!

i love the lighting on this object !

That is worth some bucks.

Great lighting on this one.

At first glance, it almost looks like a coocoo clock!

The reading is in DC, not AC. I wonder what the circuit powered?

What would happen at 300 Volts??

LOVE it. Am I too late to call dibs?

The dial case has Phillips head screws which were invented in the 30s but came into common use after WWII.

The rest of the device has slotted-head screws. It's possible that the screws for the dial case were replaced.

Hard to tell just how old this thing is. I know it's old and there are people who would love to have this. The corrosion around the screws suggests that the dial has been removed and replaced several times. this creates wear of the protective paint around the screws, exposes the bare metal to the elements -- thus the rust around the screws. This, in my opinion, adds to the personality of the piece.

The voltage is DC and the voltmeter reads up to 300. I have no idea what this was for.

Devin it looks like a dc voltage meter and was probably for a back up generator. The push button on the front would be to test the generator charge when the power for the generator is off. This would let you know that the generator is holding a charge and ready when needed. You can take a guess on the age as the out box is made of wood. I could tell you more but I can't read the fine print on it
