Early Remy ignition switch & Dodge Bros. "AIR" gauge

Picked these up on eBay within the last month; the switch was advertised as a 1918 Olds/Buick ignition switch (but I have my doubts). Measures approx. 5 3/4 by 3 1/4".

The gauge came in a separate auction (thought I'd put them together for the sake of the photo)- black face with silver lettering. Glass on the gauge is curved and beveled, bezel (screws on) appears to be nickel over copper or red brass. Clearly a Dodge Bros. product, but what year?

No numbers on the back or inside. Here's a photo of both;

Wow! That's great info! It's going on my model T speedster, but was curious what it came off of.

Thanks Layden!

Any idea on the vintage of the fuel pressure gauge?

Switch appears to be a Remy 198-B used on:

Auburn 6-39 1918-21

Oakland 34-C & D 1920-21

Oldsmobile 37 1917-19

37-A 1920-22

Scripps-Booth 6-39 1918

6-40 1919

Sounds logical as the Oakland, Oldsmobile and the Scripps-Booth were all essentially the same car, all powered by the 177 cid ohv Northway six.
