Up for sale is an incredibly rare, 1920s aftermarket radiator temperature gauge manufactured by the American Motor Safety Corp. out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. While Boyce MotoMeters dominated the era, this short-lived Hydro-Meter competitor is a scarce survivor and a fantastic piece for pre-war automobilia and gauge collectors alike.
