Neptune Meter Co. of New York made the Trident water meters, and their cast-brass lids have found a second life as desk accessories. The Meter Works of Woodland Hills, California, mounted two of these lids on an oak base to make this conversation-piece desk set. One hinged lid opens to a clock, the other to a dial thermometer, and a swivel pen post sits alongside. It would look right on a home-office desk or a bookshelf, or in a collection of water-works and plumbing memorabilia.

Details

  • Each lid face is cast NEPTUNE METER CO. TRIDENT WATER METER NEW YORK.
  • Patent dates from 1898 to about 1915 are cast inside the left lid.
  • Cast serial numbers read 2179056 inside the left lid and 2348880 on the right lid face.
  • The Meter Works maker label is on the oak back mount.
  • The set has cast brass lids and bezels, an oak base and mounts, felt pads underneath and a brass-tone twist ballpoint pen.
  • The thermometer dial is marked Made in France.
  • Weight is about 2.5 lb.

Condition: The brass lids show patina and minor casting roughness. The oak is clean with a few small dark specks and an empty hole at the right back of the base. We saw no chips or cracks; see photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
