The face retains its original typography, including \"Tariff\" and \"Not Recording\" indicators, with rotating number drums visible behind the glass. The rear reveals a dense mechanical assembly of levers, gears, and adjustment knobs, along with a stamped serial number (13795). Traces of original green paint remain along the sides, worn back through years of service to a mottled industrial surface. Built for durability and constant use, this piece carries the visual weight of early urban transportation systems-pure function wrapped in unapologetically rugged construction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows heavy age and use throughout, including oxidation to the brass bezel, surface rust and patina across the body, paint loss with exposed metal, and grime within the glass.
