This lovely relic from the last century is an analog darkroom photography developing timer. The device features a timer-controlled outlet plug, an on/off switch, and a buzzer for signaling. Price Firm.
These timers are also popular as collectible industrial decor or for use as meditation timers, though I do not recommend this as a meditation timer due to the loud buzzing sound is distinctly not calming! It is fabulous and character filled industrial photography decor that still serves a useful function. This one is heavily patinated, please examine photos and see if it fits your bill.
Units like this were manufactured as early as the 1950s and 1960s.When reaching out specify a time /day when you want to see the item. Happy to answer any questions.
