Item History & Price
Antique Large Westinghouse 400 Alternating Current AC Ampere Meter Wall MountSize is 9 1/2” by 4 3/4 deep (11” including terminals) . It is quite heavy at over 14 pounds without packaging. This will be packed very well.
There is a lot of very interesting history on Tesla, Edison, Westinghouse, the alternating current, and War of the Currents” that was going on back in the 1800s. I have enclosed a couple pictures from Wikipedia and Smithsonian.Unit was cleaned, Is copper inside... and is copper on the rim on the inside of the glass. Probably brass or copper on the outside rim.Glass is in good condition, the outside rim is brass or copper, I am not sure.The main body of this is some type of metal or steel that is magnetic. The rim is not magnetic.This is not tested.I am not familiar with these... this is very old and I don’t want to do anything that would cause a problem. I have no idea if this works or does not work and it is just so unique.
What a great piece for the industrial people, or collectors and prop movie people!
