A mate asked me to ID these items.

There are two gauges, 3 gunmetal bronze navigation lights and an aluminum dash box with two switches and a rev counter.

I do not know what they are out of, hopefully you do.

Thanks Rick.

The gauges are Stewart-Warner and I guess post WWII by the connections. One if reading PRESS and the other LEVEL. They have push-on connectors.

These are quite heavy but not all that large.

The first one is a light with a 270 degree field.

The other two are each the same as each other.

All three have the same globe.

The Dash Panel just has two switches and a rev counter.

It is 6" wide.

I would think that these all came off the same vessel.

So who can tell me what sort of marine vessel these parts were fitted too?

Thanks Rick.

The pressure and fuel level gauges were fitted to M38A1 jeeps (amongst other American military vehicles) but don't know about the other ones

The gauges are all standard M series used on just about everything. The 'switches' either side of the tachometer are instrument lights with a red tell tail in the centre.

Maybe from an amphibious vehicle, LARC for instance?
