I recently found these full page adverts from old trade journals.
I rec
ently purchased this 1912 advert that was printed in the Practical Engineer journal.
Another ebay acquisition. This is a celluloid bridge counter. It would have been handed out at expositions and trade shows. I don't know a thing about playing bridge, so maybe someone can fill me in about this one.
I recently picked up this nice chrome plated pressure gage.
Another recent aquasition, a water gage. It's imossible to date this one as there is no serial number on the gage face. I've included a catalog page from 1928 for information about the gages purpose.
Another 14" diameter pressure gage recently acquired. I can't be positive, but I'm estimating it's from the mid 1930s.
Another recent acquisition. An Air Brake Inspectors Test Gage. It was made in 1913 and I included a catalog page with information and an old advert from 1905.
Another trade show giveaway, this small Ashton Valve ruler is small but loaded with information!
While browsing an Ashton Valve pocket catalog, an interesting gage and valve brochure dropped out concerning refrigeration and chemical services.
