Excellent finds

I've found several of those "tire gauge's" over the yrs - I know a place where they were made and have found as many as 20 to 30 at a time/in one hunt on the property

Nice finds. I found a tire gauge made by Schrader a few years back. I thought it was a big shotgun shell when I first uncovered it. WTG

As much time as I spent around tire repairs from 1967 - 1981, I never saw one of these old Schraders before.
Good-looking and cool item!
