Re: Old Ferranti electric meter spotted under a tree near Belper
I'm guessing, Christopher, its pre-war. Going by its size - possibly 3ph. When I first joined Scottish Hydro-Electric in 1978 there were still a number of smaller, bakelite KW/h dial display meters from the late 40's/early 50's. Most common were the more modern numeral display meters, often Smiths.
I dont think your meter has any commercial value, even if restored. Definitely too far gone, I reckon.
