A friend of mine has given me the pictured visi gauge and it's body appears to be made out of aluminum, as opposed to cast iron. This leads me to believe that it is a reproduction, Can someone please tell if they know whether or not this gauge was reproduced..

Thank you,

Marshall

I"ve seen some gauges made of pot metal. Had one on an American years ago.

It could be pot metal? Does anyone have one that they know to be original that can tell me what the body is made of?

Welcome to Old Gas. The knowledge on this site is amazing! I was very lucky to be able to get the gauge which has checked out to be original!
