I have no idea and seeing this place is riddled with some of the best experts... Takes seven gauges so I figure big car in the '28-'34 range. Then again, I could be WAY off. It is a very detailed piece. Have at it, fellas!

Looks like an aftermarket piece?

Thanks guys but I don't think it's a hot rod piece. Been collecting old speed /hot rod parts for better part of 25 years and I have never seen the detail on anything I have come across before. The face comes off and is sandwiched between the backing plate and the gauges. Here is a photo of the back side. Sorry for the blurry photo but you can see it was made with some thought.

I'm afraid I have to cast my vote in the aftermarket column. That design is very "faux deco" to me, and the light socket holders look post war. And that is a strange multi-gauge configuration for a big car,,, a single large speedo hole is very unusual, the big cars almost universally had two holes (for a clock) with that many accessory gauges.

I do not have an ID for this. I would be careful though. I learned a hard lesson.
I sold a full set of instruments for an Auburn for $60 in the late seventies simply because we did not know what they fit. The buyer informed my dad and I AFTER he handed us the money and was carrying the instruments. At least at that time a set went for a couple hundred bucks. I passed on the full 1932 Auburn DASHBOARD with panel and guages at the Portland Swap meet ten years ago because I thought $550 was steep...

The last of the special built pedal cars will be going up for sale at the RM Auctions in Scottsdale in January. Built by the renown restorer Fran Roxas, this "Dusey" is truly is another work of art.
