Hey Maddog...

Nice looking set of guages. I have a bunch of old guages, some real nice and heavy ones, brass too, that I've been meaning to mount on a nice board to hang somewhere in the house. I know a fella who has a beautiful taylor vacuum guage from the 1900's, about 5 foot high, hanging on his wall; absolutely gorgeous. If they aren't doing you any good, they sure will make me happy if you want to sell them! What do expect from an old iron collector? See ya

Those are beauties

I can see the one on the right came from Baker & Smith, but can't make out the other two except for "Chicago" on the left one.

These may have been the names of the contractors who sold them. It was common for gauge makers to put the contractor's name on a batch of gauges if the batch was big enough. Kind of like what thermostat makers do (or used to do) for boiler or furnasty makers.

I guess the biggest one goes on the boiler in your house, right MD?
