Hi Mila,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Monowatt Company was an early 20th-century electrical company based in the United States, specializing in electric meters and energy management systems. It was known for producing electric demand meters, which helped utilities and businesses monitor electricity usage and optimize power consumption. It also made home lighting on a modest and limited scale.

Monowatt operated in the era when electrical infrastructure was expanding rapidly, and demand metering became crucial for billing commercial and industrial customers more accurately. The company was eventually absorbed or phased out as larger electrical firms dominated the industry.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
