Thursday I found 1905 Barber Dime at the old church and today I as going through the trash before tossing everything and a copper tube I was going to toss caught my eye...

It is a "BALLOON TIRE GAUGE" by "Schrader and Sons Automotive" out of Brooklyn New York. It has patent dates listed at 1909, 1916, 1922 and 1923.

I just found the housing. First two photos are the one I found and third one is what it looks like whole. This hobby amazes me.

Just another good reason to keep everything you find, until you get home anyways:D
