Description from the seller
Title
Industrial electrical transformer / coil unit in a metal housing – Germany – approx. 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 (Volt), current (Amp.), and "Netz". The perforated metal housing, the solid construction and the wooden core give the whole a characteristic industrial appearance.
The original technical application has not been examined further and is therefore not guaranteed. As a result, the object is offered as a decorative industrial collectible or study piece. It is particularly suitable as an industrial decor item within a loft, workshop, man cave or collection of historical technology.
Due to its robust design and handsome well-worn patina, the object possesses a strong decorative appeal.
