Salvaged Engine Order Telegraph | Brass and Aluminum | Hamburg, Germany

This Salvaged Engine Order Telegraph was made in Hamburg, Germany, sometime between the 1940s and 1970s. Built from brass and aluminum, it’s a substantial piece of maritime equipment. Without the aluminum base, it would easily weigh over 140 lbs. Thanks to the lighter construction, though, it weighs in at a manageable 73 lbs.

This is a great piece for collectors or anyone looking to add a bold nautical statement to a room or collection. Its solid build and working design reflect the industrial standards of its time.
