I have been going through some of my dad's stuff and have come across this Gauge. It is in the original box and has original paper work dated 1937. I am trying to come up with a value for it. Can anyone help? THNX Paul

That's an interesting tool, Since the paperwork is dated 1937, it may or may not work on later 42-48 distributors. Anyway, I'm sure someone would give you $100 to $300 for it,maybe more. Bear and Echlin were top notch tools in their day. More pictures would be helpful. You might advertise it in the EFV8 classifieds.

Such an item has value for those who would only display it, and for those who would use it as intended, meaning you have two markets, potentially elevating the value slightly. Most of us have seen similar, but perhaps never the exact item. If you were looking to sell, you might ask $40 and eventually accept $20. If looking for one, you might be willing to pay $75. To most of us, if found in dad's collection, it would hold more sentimental value than what you might be offered for it, so if you sell it, you'll immediately feel the loss. Alan

That tool works very well, but you are missing the disc for the later distributors. I paid $10 for one with both discs at a swap meet 10 years ago. I haven't seen one since, so they are very rare and I got a bargain. I would list it at a high price as quoted in the previous posts and then decide what you will take for it when you get responses. You will probably get a higher price on E-Bay than the classifieds on thsi site or the Ford Barn. Tom
