Guest grywht Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 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?

Guest prs519 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 the Dodge Bros item is no doubt an accessory tire gauge,eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I suspect the Dodge "air" may really be gas tank pressure as early Dodges had a hand air pump to pressurize the gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
