Another ebay acquisition. This is a celluloid bridge counter. It would have been handed out at expositions and trade shows. I don't know a thing about playing bridge, so maybe someone can fill me in about this one.

Another recent aquisition, an altitude gage. Check out the 1928 catalog page for information about the gage.

Another recent acquisition, a 14" diameter pressure gage. I can't be sure of the date of manufacture but I'm pretty certain it's probably sometime in the mid 1930s.

While browsing an Ashton Valve pocket catalog from the late 1920's or early 1930s, a nice brochure for refrigeration and chemical services gages and valves fell out. It's interesting, to say the lest.
