    Description

    Antique Westinghouse 100 Amp Amperes DC Lunchbox Meter – Steampunk!
    This lot consists of a very rare antique or near antique Westinghouse 100 Amp Amperes meter, cloth insulated leads and brass stint that I am guessing dates to the 1920s?
    A friend of mine stated that it is a highly desirable lunchbox style that will display well in any collection.
    I tried referencing the style model number 1158628 online and came up with no hits.
    I was able to find similar 4” versions but no large 5-1/2” versions like this one.
    It measures 5-1/2” high by 5-1/2” wide by 4” deep.
    It appears to be in excellent condition but I do not have the means to test it.
    Please see images to judge cosmetic condition for yourself.
    Shipping:
    39.95 USPS Priority Mail with insurance in the US.
    .00 USPS Priority Mail International shipping for those overseas.
    I combine shipping on multiple items whenever possible.  This item is very heavy thus the shipping costs!
