Technical Mitchell C J Sykes Electric Gasoline Gauge Info Sought

Just found components of a Mitchell Electric Gasoline Gauge C. J. Sykes MFG. Company Chicago Patented . It is an accessory aftermarket electric mechanical sender for the rear mounted style gas tank that has a needle showing 1/4 1/2 3/4 full on the tank and at the same time it sends electric signal to a gauge on the dash that has a red lighted circle that reads empty and 4 green lighted circles that read 1/4 1/2 3/4 full. I will post pictures when I receive these but would like any help anyone can give on dates, advertisements or patent numbers.

I have no info bit thats a nice piece.

 

Thanks,
That's what I thought too. The stars must have been in alignment yesterday as I bought the gauge at local antique mall and the absolute only information online was the sending unit for sale on eBay. Has to be some mighty small odds on that one!

Thanks to an AACA Forum member's help I was able to find out this was patented in Canada on May 15th 1923. Now that we know that do any Canadian collectors have period automotive literature that might show announcements or advertisements showing this accessory?
