I bought this today but do not know what it fits. Any ideas. It is about 5 1/4 inches tall and has a diameter of about 6 inches at the widest point.

Looks very similar to the one on my Pennometer 41, as well as the one on the 41 in Jack's book (if you look w/ a magnifier). Pennometer might not have made their own - could be same as SSE.

I've seen this type visi on most all Erie clockfaces. Some of the visis are a little longer than one shown
 original to my Erie #21 clockface

Looks like mine that is on my Erie U603 clock face. Mine has a hole in the top center tapped for a 3/8 in. bolt. Maybe for a pricer or a cover??

An Erie paddle wheel has FIVE blades.
A Bennett paddle wheel has FOUR blades.
The bracket that holds the wheel is also different...

Could be, DB.
I'd like to find a price shown in Jack's book page 137 on the U603 site glass. Anybody have one?
Thanks,

As Dick mentioned my visi has 8 rods with bolts on every other rod for a total of 4 bolted rods and Savinsam's only has 6 rods with a bolt on every rod. ????

Erie used two styles of visi-
The first one referred to as "Site Glass - Small" used bolts only.
The second referred to as "Site Glass - Large" used bolts and rods.
The "Small" visi was either cadmium plated or chrome plated (for $3.75 more).
The "Large" visi came cadmium plated only.
Ron
P.S. Large vs small was the glass size. The castings are not the same. The "Price Sign" was an extra $2.45 with a cad finish or $2.95 with a chrome finish.

Thanks for clearing that up Ron! Mine is the large one for sure. It is nice to know what it fits.

Hey, Ron. Do you have a reproduction price sign for the sight glass top?
