Can ya give me an idea of what YEAR you're looking for?

A buddy of mine has various older catalogs and magazines...I could take a peek through his collection if I have a general idea of what to look for.

new ones? YUCK!

though the new ones do pay a little tribute to the styles i like.

naw, the original greenline and twin blue, i dunno late 60's to early 70's vintage. i'm interested in the oddball ones as well as the common, metric guages, boost, pressure etc.

like these:

Okay...I'll take a look and see if he has any old SW catalogs or flyers. He used to work at a couple area speed shops and brought home LOTS of catalogs!

All my Twin Blue's were produced from about 1958 to the early 60's.

To date your own Stewart Warner's, go to Roadsters.com and look at my date decoder. He posted it on his "Old Gauges" page. It is done be using the paint numbers printed on the back of the gauge can.

If you're collecting Twin Blues for a car application, be warned that finding a tach and speedo will probably take a LONG time and be expensive. Most of those were intended for marine use. I have actually never seen a mechanical speedo with an odometer in person.

The Twin Blue is gaining in popularity pretty rapidly right now. PM me if you need some in particular and I'll see what extras I have.
