Our New Orleans Water Meter Box Pendant necklace features a replica of the much beloved and coveted of the New Orleans Meter box cover, which was designed in the early 1920s by Edwin Ford the owner of “Ford Meter Box Company” of Wabash, In. This historic cover clearly shows a crescent moon, which alludes to the common nick name of New Orleans as “The Crescent City”. That may explain why they were so coveted by tourists and locals that they have been stolen and taken home as pieces of home décor. Our Crescent City New Orleans Water Meter Cover Pendant is approximately 1 ˝” in diameter and is sent to you with an 18” silver chain. You can wear it with the silver chain with your favorite outfit or to dress it down by placing it on a cord to wear with your favorite blouse and blue jeans!
