Can anyone help me with an ID on this old meter? I was looking over that PDF file that has been posted on here numerous times but am unsure if what I found is correct or not? It would appear to me anyway that it is an H3 or H4 maybe? I'm just any good with nailing these down yet. Any help with this would be extremely helpful to me. Thank you.
Here is what I copied from the page.
USPMSC: HC1 through HC4, HC6 through HC10
H4. Commercial Controls Corp. (MV).
As Type H3 but "U.S.POSTAGE" is straight at top, and M# has "CC –" prefix. Meter numbers 6000-10048 plus replacement dies. TM: DC, BIC, SC
H4 - 6000-10048. Yours is 9905, falls right into place. If you go to the Meter stamp society's web site they have a spread sheet (PDF) that you can download which actually will verify the Meter number and match it to the company.
Emerson Motors! My dad had half a dozen of those in his basement I had to dispose of when we cleaned the family homestead out a few years ago. Good boat anchors.
Thank you Fellows for helping me! I'm slowly learning these but all the minute details are quite impressive so again a very big Thank You!
wt1, Thank you for the clarification. Much needed as I was doubting my own judgement. Thanks!
stallzer, that is a quite fascinating idea you have provided there! That should keep me entertained for an hour or so this evening!Thank you.
james, I can vividly remember playing in Great Grandfather's tool shed and playing with these exact motors. That's sort of why I purchased the lot that had this in it actually. Oh the memories! We used to build "inventions" utilizing them to move stuff...man was they dangerous too! ha-ha!
