Hi all,
I'm a new member here, and I'm hoping the experts here might be able to help out with identifying some heavy brass gauges I have. Quick back story- I was given these two gauges well over 20 years ago after helping my grandmother's neighbor move a couch. He was a US Navy vet that served in World War 2, and he said he was assigned breaking down ships once the war ended. He told me these were from a Japanese submarine. I have no way to confirm or deny that part, but I'm hopeful someone here can at least help me figure out what these are. They look to me like they might be some kind of pressure gauge and the heavy brass construction seems to be consistent with something used on a ship. Then again, they could be from a water heater for all I know! I've attached some pictures, the one with "159" stamped on the base is the smaller one that reads from 0-230. Thank you very much in advance, any assistance is appreciated!
