Hmm, I was always under the impression these were made by Wilsonia. Was the one in the auction an actual Nasco item?  Either way, would love one too! But maybe not that much  |

WAY over priced. there is a VDO gauges man in sydney that repairs old guages (did my old smith gauges outta my mini , and the dash outta my prefect) , he is old and slow but really good. Sorry i forget the name of the place  |

The guage is in fact Wilsonia & not Nasco - still VERY desirable - I would say you wont get one commercially for under $300. You may be lucky at a swap meet or garage sale. Ebay will see them going over $500 every time.

Hi guys I scored the bargen of the year by the sound of these prices then i found this at my local market it was the only thing there to do with cars it was on a shelf with some dolls and bricker brac etc they obviously didn't know what it was. checkout the tag that is how it came SIX BUCKS  i couldn't believe it just needs some wiring and oil pipe parts to get me going i guess  |

Not bad Philby,at that rate you should be able to make $724 profit given the last going rate for these items on ebay... Ebay Item #110412998904 |

Nice score Philby.
I purchased 1 on ebay about 6 weeks ago for $325.
I had bid more than that on about 10 previous occasions and been beat out to a higher price.
Persistance paid off in the end.
Regards
Alex

Picked up one of these gauges yesterday and a couple of master cyls with the tins in usable condition. They both have 'Holden' on the bodies and the lettering around the top of the tins. $40 the lot. |
