all the "old junk." She has a bunch of meters that she is supposed to
dump, but she wanted to know if there was any market for "antique"
meters. I have not seen them, but the way she describes them they are
single function meters (galvanometers, AC voltmeter, DC voltmeter,
etc.) in slope from cases with binding screw terminals on top. She
thought the cases were Bakelite.
Is there any value to such things? Is there an on-line market that
might let me determine a value, if any? I know she is thinking that if
it is worth anything she can use the proceeds to buy supplies.

I have here an 0-20uA meter I picked up on ebay some time back in just such a
configuration as you describe, nice metal slope-front case and a pair of binding posts on
top. Cost me a whopping 99 cents, though shipping was a bit more...
I wouldn't mind having some more of these in other ranges, but can't afford any
sort of an investment at this point in time.
