Cool air pressure gage

[TerryEastTexas]

This is so cool. It's a Shreader ballon tire gage. It goes from 10-50 psi. Pat. 1924. The lead disc is the size of a dime and twice as thick. Maybe a game piece.

Schrader valve, mainly used in the larger trucks way back in the day. I found one in a small out of the way park, still able to read most of the settings on the side
Nice find for sure!

Lead piece have any marks? Might be a scale weight.

Schrader valve is still the generic term for valve stems used in automotive wheels.

The top guage isn't missing anything, it has the inlet on the end where the bulb is on the lower one.
