Found this at a small fair today its a early vampire throttle quadrant and gear handles.Dont know what im going to do with it yet though! but thought id share it with you guys as its a nice item.

Very cool! I could think of several places to display this at home, but my wife wouldn't like any of them. Are you sure this is from a vampire, the throttle doesn't look long enough. Great snag though!

Take care,
Jay

Hi yes definately vampire has DH satamped on it and a code 00 which is definately vampire as i dug on an old site where vampires were broken up in the late 40's and all parts had 00 on them.
