Description: This sale is for the Thomas Edison's Edison System Electric Ampere Meter pictured. The condition of this large and unusual Edison amp meter is exceptional and original.

This meter would have monitored the output of an electric dynamo or motor similar to, but larger than the Edison Dynamo shown in the last pic.

The scale reads up to 264 amps.The previous owner made a copy of the paper scale to cover the original scale to help preserve it. (see pics) The original paper scale is behind the copy on the face in the pics. It is in nice condition.

This Edison meter measures approx. 10" across and 16" tall. The back of the case is cast iron. The etched glass face is flawless. The wooden case is in original finish and in fine condition. The interior workings look like new. The wooden case is stamped in two places with Elec. Eng. Dept. L.S.J.U. which is Stanford University in Palo Alto CA. Nice!!

A super nice and rare piece of American Electrical History that will display well and be a great addition to the old office, electrical, scientific or related collection!

Pics tell the story. Please look at all the pics to see the details and condition. What you see is what you get. Bid it to own it!!
