Description

Duncan Model 60 Vintage Parking Meter – 58" Tall, Display-Only

This is an original Duncan Model 60 mechanical parking meter, a classic of mid-century American street design. Manufactured by Duncan Industries, this iconic meter features a cast aluminum head marked with “Sixty Min. Time Limit” and a coin slot mechanism (non-functional), mounted on a robust steel post with circular iron base.

The piece stands an impressive 58 inches tall and retains its industrial red finish—now aged with authentic wear and oxidation. With its rounded Art Deco-style casing, this meter is a nostalgic emblem of urban life from the 1950s–70s. Ideal as a décor centerpiece for man caves, auto shops, restaurants, or Americana collections.

Note: The Bob Ross cutout shown in the photos is for scale reference only and not included.


Condition

Good overall, with age-appropriate surface wear. The lever does not operate and internal mechanics appear inoperable. Notable oxidation is present along the base and post, with scuffs, scratches, and corrosion consistent with long-term outdoor use. Best suited for decorative display.


Dimensions

  • Height: 58 inches
  • Base Diameter: 18 inches
  • Overall Weight: Approx. 35–50 lbs (estimated based on materials)
