good stuff found in the swap meet

Never seen one of these before

 

I was tempted to buy this.... but, resisted. It would only gather dust. 

Pretty cool that Moto Meter made a tire pressure gauge

Real factory high perf 426 stage II or stage III max wedge iron exhaust manifolds that were as good as headers, seller wants 2k

Stewart Warners version of the Boyce Motometer was punnily named the Warn-o-meter

 

and this NOS one is on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/115141493149 for a ridiculous $450.00

1921 Boyce MotoMeter light and parking lamp. Meant to be a parking light on dark busy streets, and also to light up the hood ornament temp gauge at night

In the early auto years, drivers couldn't read their Moto-meter gauges at night, so the Moto-Meter company developed a solution with this light. 

This light attached to the outside post of the windshield. The driver could reach out and focus a strong beam of light onto his temperature gauge, allowing him to see the temperature of his car at night. 

Inside the glass dome of this light is a magnifying glass piece that is used to focus the beam of light onto the Moto-Meter gauge. 

The back side of the lamp had a shutter affair that could be opened about 1/2" to show a red light, either light or dark red, to the rear (the “parking lamp”). The whole affair cost six dollars; for an additional dollar, one could add a rearview mirror that bolted to the light fixture.

I'm showing you examples from several websites, to give you the best possible look at the inner workings, broken and not, so this is the most thorough post about this rare accessory.

the brodie knobbed boat tail Lincoln, with an altimeter and interior Boyce Motometer on the steering column

1st time I've ever seen a Motometer on the steering column

here it is with the photo turned 90 degrees so you can see it better

 

great vintage road and race cars, in one magazine Vintage Roadcar / Vintage Racecar (they just merged into one magazine)

the two stand out feature articles in this issue were the incredibly rare and original fall factory "works"race Bugatti Type 39, only 5 were made, #4604 was shipped to Australia in 1926. The new owner wanted to try for land speed records

I don't think I've seen a Moto Meter without the circle filled in

And the 2nd article was a multi page interview with Parnelli Jones, mostly about the Indy 500
