AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This early 20th-century ammeter is an electrical measuring instrument that stands out for its functionality as well as its robust and elegant design. It is mounted in a solid wood box, probably oak or beech, with a handcrafted finish that reflects the classic industrial style of the period. The wood retains all its original elements, including the aged varnish, metal joints, and the top handle, which confer authenticity and historical value.

The large front dial is protected by a glass and features a scale from 0 to 200 amperes, marked in 10-ampere increments. The simple-designed needle points accurately, and the text 'AMPERE' at the top clearly indicates its function. At the bottom of the dial, it reads 'MIT STROMTRANSFORMATOR 1956045,' suggesting that the device was designed to operate with a current transformer, typical in industrial installations or electrical laboratories of the time.

This type of ammeters was used in technical environments to monitor high currents, and their wooden construction not only provided insulation but also resistance and durability. The style reflects a transition between the artisanal aesthetics of the 19th century and the technical functionality of the 20th century, balancing scientific precision with decorative design.

In good condition, this instrument is a collectible piece that represents the advancement of electrical engineering during an era of industrial innovation. Ideal for museums, collectors, or as a decorative object with history.

Certified shipping and good packaging.
