 Went out to a used camera shop at lunch today, looking for a light meter to use with my film cams. In addition to a 70's looking meter to use, I also picked up this older selenium meter, made in 1937. (Is 73 years old an antique yet?)

It appears to. The needle still moves when exposed to light (This was in fairly dim light on my desk, not enough to register)It's a selenium meter without a battery. I will have to compare it to a known good meter to see if it is still accurate.

If it's turned green from corrosion, it qualifies as an antique. :) I like the slightly Art Deco-ish logo design on the front.
