Hi,
My wifes uncle left me a beautiful brass Babcock and Wilcox 14" dia 900 psi steam guage ( very heavy with a cast iron base) that was hanging as a decoration behind his basement bar for years. I did not get the story from him of where it had come from before he passed away. He served in the navy on several capital ships from WW2 thru 1960 but worked on boilers in private industry after that.
Would anyone know the vintage of this guage and if it is naval? I posted the picture on my web site www.bulletresistant.net
Thank You
Ken
BTW the bezel is nickle plated brass
