I've seen one of these before. Twice today, in fact.
 
I've got a working Weston Master & Gossen Lunasix III, does that count...
 
Looks a bit like a Weston Master, which I used many moons ago - first-class bit of kit...very reliable indeed...
Nothing fancy, but does exactly what it says on the tin...
 
Probably 1970's. Don't think ASA was in use in the 50's and it has modern
speed scales.

ASA stands for American Standards, in use since the '30's
ISO was Imperial Standards, in use since the '30's
DIN was for German Standards (Deutsches Institut für Normung), in use since the '30's

all amalgamated into ISO a few years back...
