Love it much!
Pics aren't clear enough to read but I think I see the word "Steam" on 1 so it must be for some kind of steam eng..
Show a closer pic of the guages & maybe we can figure it out.
blunderbuss is right, i have some steam & diesel gauges & there in the same style,the brass benzel trim screems steam. looks like the fittings turn back into the panel , Im curious about the 518-40 mrked on the back, THIS iv'e seen before, you dont want to know any more. Probably nothing.
Thanks for the replies:
Yes so the top 2 gauges are labeled "Auxiliary Steam" The middle one says "Compound" Then "Fresh Water System" and "Air Pressure" next to it.
I think the top 5 are Jos P. Marsh Gauges.
Any more ideas?
They look like gauges to an old boiler / heater for a large, old building.
Now does anyone have a clue what something like this is valued at?
