Original Smiths Shorrock Supercharger Gauge

Here's some pictures of the original gauge versus the modern copies.

On the originals, the digits are much smaller, and there's little windows around the sides to provide illumination. This one just sold on eBay for £225.

Don't be fooled by the modern copies on eBay. Note the larger digits.

This seller even has the cheek to use a picture from my blog to sell his item!
