Description from the seller

Raro Milliamperometer Vintage A.L.L.I.A.T.O. Torino (1920s/1930s) – Brass Case and Wooden Base

Object Description

Splendid and elegant vintage laboratory milliamperometer / galvano-meter dating from the late 1920s / early 1930s, produced by the well-known Turin-based company A.L.L.I.A.T.O., a historic brand of the golden era of Italian radio and electrical instrumentation.

Details and Features
Manufacturer: A.L.L.I.A.T.O. (Torino, Italy) – Original diamond-shaped label with the silhouette of Italy on the bottom.
Era: 1920s–1930s (Early 20th Century). Materials: Brass case with a beautiful patina of the era, solid wooden rectangular base, binding posts in bakelite/metal. Reading scale: Central zero with graduated scale -50 … 0 … +50 mA (Milliamperometer).
Dimensions: 11 cm x 8 cm x 12 cm.
Initials/Engravings: An era-appropriate manual engraving with the figures/initials "PK" on the upper part of the brass case.

Conservazione/Condition
Condition: The item presents in good overall aesthetic condition for its age, with a fascinating and authentic patina on the metal and wood.
Front glass: The protective arc window cover is missing (a common detail for vintage items of this type or easily restorable by a restorer).
Bottom label: The printed paper seal on the wooden base shows signs of wear but retains the typical diamond shape with the figure of Italy and the factory mark.
Functionality: The item has not been electrically tested (sold as a collectible piece, display item, or for restoration).

Notes for Collectors

Piece of notable historical interest for collectors of antique radios, old scientific instruments, didactic physics, and industrial antiques. Perfect as a decorative element for professional studies or private collections dedicated to the history of Italian technology.

Shipping and Packaging
