You are bidding on a Massive rare Weston Electrical instruments company MEGAWATTS meter. It measures approximately 10.5 inches in diameter to the outside flange by 7.5 inches deep. I presume this was used by a factory or a large building to watch or monitor electrical consumption. The Weston Electrical Instrument Co. was established in 1888 so this is one of their first large models from the looks of the patent plate.
