Title: OLD tire pressure gauges
Post by: Mel Larsen on August 02, 2012, 09:59:51 PM

These two old tire pressure gauges were given to me buy a guy who used to be a mechanic in a Studebaker dealership, The leather case is for the Model A Ford gauge.  They both still work.

I guess I should of told who made them.  The one on the left is made by Motometer Gauge & Equipment Corp. With a patent date Feb. 26, 1924.  The one on the right is made for Ford Motor Co. by U.S. Gauge Co.New York.

And all along I was under the impression that using pressure gauges to check tire  pressure was a relatively new idea...dang, wrong again.

Very nice!!
