Anyone have any information on Tester or know what it was used for? The handle has BEST TESTER inscribed on it.

Darn thing certainly looks old enough and fits the makings of a radiator pressure testor, the 30# guage seems high for the old systems. They were at 0 up to 7#. Just a thought, maybe Im on the wrong track. Nice display item.

It is a neat looking item, worthy of display. It looks to be a lot older than any pressure system radiators. Hang it on the wall someone will see it and tell you all about it.
