This Edison-era, glass-domed, solid walnut lamp incorporates an original, beautifully-restored, generations-old, precision electrical instrument! It's just absolutely beautiful and we are very pleased to offer this in our store!

 

In restoring each antique residential electric meter, skilled craftsmen carefully removed over 80 years' accumulation of corrosion and grime to reveal the long-concealed, natural metallic luster of solid yellow machined brass and heavy red cast brass.  These brass meter components are brilliantly polished and then immediately sealed in clear metal lacquer to preserve the hard-won finish. 

 

Snap on the line cord switch and watch with fascination as this olden-times meter springs to life! A 15-watt reflectored bulb draws its current through the meter circuit and bathes the slowly-rotating sparkling meter mechanism and dome interior in a soft, warm glow.

 

 

Proudly restored and assembled in the USA!

 

Protective, removable Pyrex glass cover dome nestles into a felt-lined circular groove machined into the heavy walnut lamp base.

 

 

Jeweled mechanical meter movement for long operating life.

 

Optical-polishing of meter cover glass removes decades of accumulated scratches, haze, and embedded mineral stains, providing exceptional clarity for viewing the internal meter recording mechanism.

 

Included are three copper-wire, pressed lead wing nut security seals, just like the power company originally installed to thwart tampering. Pressed-lead seals are coated in clear metal lacquer to prevent oxidation.

 

Precision-cut, hand-finished, solid walnut woodwork.

 

Wedge-mounted interior brass plate is informatively engraved "Residential Electric Meter, Circa 1920".

 

Optional brass plate is affixed to the front of the lamp base with your 5 lines of text (55 characters per line) at no additional charge! Please fill out the form below with your special engraving.
