Tell Tales (metered)

[slim]

On sifting threw a pile of FE/FC stuff I found a set of tell Tale gauges, But they are different to the typical type, these are metered , all 3 have needle guages not just a small light, Are these a Nasco accesory , as they are not listed, this is the panel van they were in FC2104 9659 A..TRIM 351 652  PAINT256 2031   TOP 333. Where they factory fitted , as I have all the fittings as well, and they appear so.   Any info about these telltales , will be much appreciated . Also a rough guide to the availability/ price of same?      THANKS SLIM ....   Its amazing what you find when you look  :o :o :o

Slim,

They're not a Nasco accessory, but were made by Wilson Manufacturing.  They're known as a "Wilsonia Guage", and there is a pic and information about them in our Accessory section.

As far as value is concerned, they originally sold for a bit over 7 pounds, so I'll give you $20 for it. Sound fair?  Didn't think you'd go for that.  They're worth what someone will pay for them, but I've seen them go for $200.  Depends upon condition, yada yada.

That "333" code means the tailgate glass was factory fitted, FWIW.  Punch all the numbers into the ID plate page and see what it tells you.

Hope that helps,

Slim - yours sound very interesting if all 3 are guages!
The normal common garden variety Wilsonia guage that you could buy in most milk bars in 1959 has a amp guage, a temp light and a oil pressure guage.
I have never seen one with all 3 guages - can you confirm that yours actually has 3 guages
