Thanks Fly Buy
I have no ebay account, and it’s surplus to requirements. Available to anyone who might need it for a cockpit restoration.

Thanks Kernowglyn
Any particular A/C it was fitted to, or a standard instrument for several types?. I take it that it is post war.

Looks like the standard RCDI, but the ones I remember also had the word Down on the lower half to match UP on the top half.
Rate of Climb & Descent Indicator, often known as a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).
