UP FOR sale IS AN ANTIQUE VOLTMETER IN A WOODEN CASE. THE PATENT IS DATED 1897. THE DIAL INFORMATION SAYS ITS LICENSED UNDER \"WESTON\" MAKING ME WONDER IF ITS A FORERUNNER TO THE FAMOUS WESTON METER. THE MOVEMENT MOVES SMOOTHLY, AND IT HAS A DAMPER WIRE A CROSSED THE TERMINALS TO PROTECT IT. THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTION SHEET IS IN TACT GLUED TO THE INSIDE OF THE COVER. ITS NOT PERFECT, ITS MISSING A BRASS PUSH BUTTON. THE BUTTON SEEMED TO HAVE UNSCREWED FROM THE STEM AND FALLEN OFF. ALSO, THE CASE IS MISSING A PIECE OF WOOD, ONE SIDE OF THE DADO SLOT HOLDING THE COVER. THE INSTRUCTION LABEL IS DATED PRINTED IN 1905. ITS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE. THE METER BASE APPEARS TO BE CHERRY WOOD. I\'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE CASE, COULD BE MAPLE. MY DAD, REST HIS SOUL, COLLECTED THIS BEFORE I WAS BORN AND I\'M 74 YEAR OLD SO ITS BEEN AROUND THE HOUSE A WHILE. DOES IT WORK, YOU NEVER KNOW.
