Very simple meter with a little gem of a leather case. On the back there's a table to choose film and shutter speeds. That's about it. You turn the dial on the front until you match the needle with the scale.
This meter has a dead selenium cell or corroded wiring. Very common with meters this old. So what? It's a great looking meter that will go nicely with some of my old Argus cameras on display.
If you have more interest in old light meters, James Ollinger has a great web site full of information:

This is a two-range selenium meter built in a Bakelite body with a metal plate on the front for the calculator, marked for film speed in ° Scheiner and /10 DIN.
This is not marked with any names apart from a small S in the bottom-left of the scale, but I'm guessing it's one of the variants of the Gossen Ombrux 2. The Ombrux 2 was introduced in c.1939; this guess and date is based on www.myphotoweb.com by E. van der Aa..
Anyone identify it more reliably?
There's some life in the cell when you press the low-range button, but very little on the standard range.
I'd forgotten I'd taken this back last August, but was reminded whilst looking at other meter pics today.

The 'Edmund Gardner', berthed in Canning Graving Dock, Liverpool, England. Original image digitally selenium toned prior to being printed on high-quality glossy paper. Then manually overpainted with acrylic paint. The image depicts the former Liverpool pilot ship pictured in its original livery in 2013. The following year the vessel was chosen to be painted as a 'Dazzle' ship - in homage to the camouflage of ships in the First World War.

An overview of the different silver painted faces of the Metrophot and Metraphot exposure meters that were produced by Metrawatt around 1933. The model in the middle of the bottom row, the Metraphot 16, has a larger body than the other ones because a stronger(=larger) magnet had been used. Botton view.

Argus C3 "Matchmatic" with the selenium meter I so dearly love. Caution: using EV is a prickly business.

One of my first series of photos that I shot solely for the purpose of making a print series. They were originally shot on a rather nice early Saturday morning drive in August of 2014 through the Cleveland Flats and Industry Valley sections of the city.
The title comes from a specific bend in the Cuyahoga River in the Cleveland Flats that was notorious for a lot of collisions between ships navigating the river through the former industrial hotbed of the city.
Original Neg:
Rolleiflex 2.8F - Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm 1:2.8 - Kodak Tri-X 400 (400TX)
Kodak HC-110 Dil. B 6:00
Print:
Ilford MGIV Satin RC
6.5" - f/11 - Polycontrast No. 3 Filter
Dektol (1+2) 1:00
Toned in Selenium (1+4) 2:00
Scanned: Epson V700
