Vintage Jewell DC Voltmeter 0-250V Panel Meter Gauge Pattern 54
Up for sale is a classic vintage Jewell direct current (DC) voltmeter panel gauge, specifically Pattern No. 54. Manufactured by the Jewell Electrical Instrument Co., this meter was commonly used in early radio equipment and industrial panels during the 1920s and 1930s [2.2, 2.8]. It's a highly sought-after piece for restorers and collectors.
Condition
- Cosmetic: The gauge is in good physical condition for its age. The metal outer bezel shows typical patina, rust, and wear as pictured. The dial face is clear and intact. The needle moves freely when the meter is tilted.
- Functionality: The meter is being sold as-is because it has not been electrically tested for accuracy. It requires a proper external or internal multiplier resistor to function correctly at the 250V range. It is suitable for display purposes or restoration by a qualified hobbyist.
