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.

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.

While browsing an Ashton Valve pocket catalog, an interesting gage and valve brochure dropped out concerning refrigeration and chemical services.
