According to the manufacturer "We've taken the original Westinghouse Electric Company meters from this early period and incorporated their restoration into a banker-style lamp, the model OB-BA "Metropolitan". It features a classic green glass reflector and a solid brass socket assembly with a brass pull chain and solid brass ball. As with our other OB-series products, we're very proud to offer these special creations to customers who will thrill at owning their own original piece of beautifully-restored, yet still operational early electrical technology."
Proudly restored and assembled in the USA!
The Metropolitan, with an actual working meter, has been beautifully crafted and will be a treasured keepsake for any utility company retiree!
