Hi Guys.
We have had this instrument panel in the collection for many years now but do not know what it is from. Can anyone shed some light onto what it would have been fitted to? All we know is that it was from the 30s or 40s. Apologies for the pic it was taken in a hurry 🙂
Guages read from Lto R:
Altimeter, Oil, Farenheit and Tachometer.

Hi Peter,
That’s a tough one.
1930’s rather than ’40’s, I’d say. North American (not necessarily the firm), light aircraft, non-military. Maybe an open cockpit, judging by the glass screen protecting the instruments?
Could be one of dozens of types.
Are all the instruments made by the same company? If so, I’m tempted to suggest it might be an “after-market” panel, one that could be fitted by the home owner. Maybe not a universal panel as the position of the four fixing brackets appears to have been done with one type in mind.
Just a few thoughts, hope someone with a more intimate knowledge of pre-war american stuff will turn up.
Regards,
Al
