    My dad found these at an Olds swap meet yesterday. Ive had green lines before, but these have an odd face at the bottom where the SW logo usually is. Never seen it before and cant find anything on the web about em. There are 7 matching gauges, speedo, tach, oil, temp, alternator, fuel, and vac.

    Ive never seen the guages with that logo down low but i would assume they were made for a kit car of some sort at the time, hard to say for sure.

    also the font is different than the green line speedos and tachs ive seen.

    No, has a helmet with a feather wrapping over the top. Goatee on his face. Im guessing these gauges have a name and that face is the name.

    They are Stewart Warner "Green Line" gauges. SW is making them again, I put a trio of 'em in my '58 last year...

    Not sure what's up with the strange logo though.
