Title: rare speedometer
Post by: billy the kid on February 06, 2012, 10:00:35 AM

I have a speedometer instaled that i buyed on a military fair last year.
On the back it's the same as halftrack but no day counter on it and it fits in the dashboard .The year of fabrication is 1939 from white(the big W in the front ) and simething very fast (160mph in that time?) but i dont know where it came from.
Anybody can help me out if it's worth a fortune :o?

I believe that I have seen that style of speedo on a fire engine belonging to a local Fire Company in my hometown. I will see if I can get by there and verify my foggy memory.

Not bad at all but the speed is ending at 100mph and mine is 160 mph.
Are there more options?
Gold? ;D
