Vintage Ashcroft Pressure Gauge – Brass and Steel Industrial Dial

This Vintage Ashcroft Pressure Gauge combines early industrial style with a brass-and-steel build. The 0–300 scale appears clearly across the dial, and the word “PERFECT” marks the center. The shield logo reads Ashcroft Mfg. Co., New York, followed by “Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” The stamped number 260486 sits below the dial.

Ashcroft produced this gauge style between the 1910s and 1930s, which places it firmly in the early 20th century. During this era, Ashcroft released the “Perfect” line, a series known for improved accuracy and durable internal parts. These gauges were commonly installed on boilers, pumps, air systems, and marine equipment. As a result, they became a trusted standard for industrial and shipboard applications.

The brass bezel shows patina, spotting, and age-related wear. The steel body also shows use, yet the gauge still presents well as a display piece. Because the working condition is unknown, it should be used for décor, collecting, or restoration projects.

This gauge offers strong visual appeal for industrial, steampunk, or maritime-inspired settings.
