Electricians, vintage radio enthusiasts, and tool collectors will instantly recognize this iconic piece of test equipment. This is a vintage Simpson 260 Series 6 Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter—widely considered the industry standard for analog multimeters for decades.
What makes this specific piece truly special is its fantastic custom-built wooden carrying case. Crafted by a previous owner (faintly marked "W.O. MATHIS" on the top), the sturdy wooden box features a metal handle, a front latch, and a delightfully retro brown-speckled carpet lining carved out specifically to cradle the meter. Along with the Simpson 260, this electrician's bundle includes a vintage Amprobe Rotary Scale Snap-Around clamp meter (complete with its 1984 operating manual), an old voltage tester pen, and a large bundle of assorted test leads and probes. It is a brilliant, ready-made display piece for a workbench, industrial-themed room, or a great restoration project for an electronics buff.
Condition

The vintage test leads appear intact but may have stiffness to the wire insulation due to age.
