1910's-20's Vintage Car Truck Column Mounted Vacuum Gauge Rat Rod, Motorcycle on 2040-parts.com
Vacaville, California, United States
|
Not exactly sure what I have here but it looks like it was a Manifold Vacuum Gauge that mounted on the steering column of an old car or possibly a truck due to the size. Housing has a diameter of 5 inches and the needle is still there but bent. Gauge face looks like it has 1-10 pounds, the words "performance" and "good" still legible. Clear covering that covers the face appeared to be a type of plastic, not glass as I would suspect if the gauge is as old as I think. Has a ball-socket mount holding the gauge as it locks around a column. Gauge is heavy and appears really well made but the rear domed part (cup) of the gauge appears to be made of a phenolic or bakeolite material and has some cracks.
I doubt gauge is worth restoring but it would look great on a Rat Rod holding a tachometer or on an old motorcycle holding a speedometer or other gauge. |
