    isn't that the house brand that NAPA sold?

    Might look on the back for date codes...otherwise, they're probably from the 50s-80s.

    Yes they are (were)...had the same face designs on my SW gauges from 1964.

    That's why I suggested looking for date codes...if SW made them, then there might be useful info stamped on the back.

    I'll check, thanks
     
  7. Niehoff and SW were both Chicago based companies.
    Niehoff sold ignition components. I doubt they actually produced gauges. As above, they may well have private labeled gauges produced by SW.

    They were in our line when I worked for BWD. I don't know if BWD/Niehoff still have them or not. I can't remember our vendor's name, but the quality was very good. They supplied a lot of gauges for the marine trade. I have them in one of my cars.

    Use them.
