    The previous owner claimed this was the original housing, but it looks home made to me. I think the owner before him made the housing, But it does look old - especially the leather strap.
    I was able to zero out the meter with the bottom face plate screw. It looks like a 70 amp meter. I ran a hair dryer through it and got a small deflection on the needle,
    approximately
    10 amps.
