5.25" diameter round metal and glass pressure gauge marked "THOS.A.DOUGLAS.;MILLBURN, N.J.;H.BELFIELD Co.;PHILA." Back of the gauge is painted black, as is 1.25" of the side. The rim of the gauge is wrapped with a rusted iron band 1.5" of which curves around the edge to the side. At the bottom of the gauge are two rusted screws and a ca. 1/2" long threaded mounting bolt. There are two dings in the metal rim; one at 2:00 o'clock and the other at 5:00 o'clock. The bottom/back rim has considerable wear and paint is chipped off all around. Near the center of the back are two tiny round spots of missing paint and a number of overall other pinprick-sized bubbles of missing paint. Next to the N.J. on the face of the gauge is a 1/8" sliver of missing silver color.Acquisition
