Exhibit description
The gas meter was manufactured using innovative materials, such as steel and non-ferrous metals, while its bellows are made of leather.
Before the First World War, it was possible to settle one’s gas bill with coins carrying the denomination of 10 pfennigs. After the war, the coins were replaced with tokens.
