AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A type meter was used to measure the gas consumption of a household or business. The large dial on the right typically shows the amount of gas used. The smaller dial on the left, with 'Tag/Nacht' (day/night), may indicate a two-rate mechanism — recording gas consumption separately for day and night hours, a system that was used in some regions in the past. The casing, made of bronze-colored metal, served to protect the mechanism. This gas meter by Hermann Pipersberg Jr., like this one from around 1900–1930.
Size: 15 cm diameter and 10 cm depth.
The company has been around since the 19th century (founded in 1843) and produced, among other things, water and gas meters, pressure regulators, and similar measuring instruments. The style of the font and the metal dials indicates the interwar period between World War I and World War II. Bauhaus period.
