An AC power meter?

RossW wins nothing! As promised....well, figures if it's cool and electro-mechanical you folks will not be stumped easily!  :) This wattmeter is from the late 1890's.

I got the deluxe kit, it had a solar cell and a meter.

Looks like it is /was a  PORTABLE testing unit of some sorts, from the look of the base.
An exercise in  frustration?

I'd say a ladle for smaller quantities of metals for casting.  Gold?  Silver?  For a bullet it would only be for one or two, not a batch.

Something to do with the heating air conditioning system of a car - maybe the fan speed controller ?
Or wiper motor controller ?

Oooooo.....    I am having a thought on what it is but still not quite sure....

#3 is a switch and resistor.  Which makes me think dash light dimmer, but that would be tied to headlights, not it's own switch.   So maybe a intermittent windshield wiper controller? 

#1 & 2 make me think of a reverb spring, so maybe it's a audio gadget.  I don't know how many cars had reverb units in them.

So for nothing better, I'll go Reverb.
