1930s Pifco All In One Pocket Meter  Voltmeter Ammeter

This 1920s/ 1930s Pifco All In One Pocket Meter Voltmeter Ammeter is a wonderful little device. It has a white Ivorine back with chromed brass surround, and was made for PIFCO, Manchester, UK: it is marked ‘Foreign’.

The unit has not been tested and is being sold as a collectible, for display only. It is in very good cosmetic condition with negligible scuffs or loss of chrome coating. It is missing its test leads.

A nice addition to a vintage technology collection or would make a great desk ornament!
