Description from the seller
Title
Industrial electrical transformer / coil unit in metal housing – Germany – ca. 1920–1950
Description
Offered is an authentic industrial electrical object from the first half of the 20th century, consisting of a heavy perforated metal housing with a wooden core and internal coil construction.
The object features a metal nameplate with German inscriptions, including indications for voltage (Volts), current (Amp.) and "Netz" (mains). The perforated metal housing, the solid construction and the wooden core give it a characteristic industrial appearance.
The original technical application has not been further investigated and is therefore not guaranteed. It is offered as a decorative industrial collectible object or study piece. It is particularly suitable as an industrial decor piece within a loft, workshop, man cave or collection of historical technology.
Due to its robust construction and fine well-worn patina, the object has a strong decorative presence.
