It weighs 9 pounds, has a porcelain cover and a metal bottom. On the metal bottom is engraved N. Slater Co./ Hamilton/Canada/CAT NO 12/60 amperes/5000volts. The metal bottom pulls open and reveals several knobs, springs and wires. I am charging $30 for it which includes shipping to anywhere in Canada and the United States (and shipping will be a lot for this guy!)
