(1) VW and Packard Speedometers -- Mopar Swap Meet @ Woodley Park in Van Nuys -- Sunday, April 14, 2019

Missing the fuel gauge


Made in July, 1968 (probably was in a 1969 Bug)
After just cleaning the outside






Pretty high range on the speedo for 1936...

Paid 2% of what the tape says...


The bezel is crimped over in just a few small spots so I should be able to take it off & clean the inside...

After just cleaning the outside


Roller shift cable guide (after cleaning)






(4) H. Gerstner & Sons, Dayton OHIO - Machinist Tool Box --Long Beach Antique Swap Meet - Sunday, April 21, 2019

It's a little rough...

Bottom of the box...



Someone pried at the front cover...  Don't have a key...

























Used some adhesive remover to take off this sticker



Tried cleaning the cover material using different cleaners.

Cleaner by itself is not enough...

Cleaned with a brush.  Also used steel wool to clean some of the metal parts...




Using a cleaner with a plastic bristle brush is pretty effective at bringing the cover material back.  The whole box will take quite a bit of time to clean up...
