<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 257223, member: 3235"]Thanks to all for the info. It's large size gives it presence. Since posting, I've determined it dates from 1907-29 from the design of the Ashcroft logo (manufacturer) - this one may be from the early part of that date range due to the all brass construction... steel back flange used on later versions according one source. I only cleaned the dirt & grime off, then a light coat of wax. . I'm not a fan of polishing brass on industrial items, it took 100 years to get it's patina, and I'll leave it be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
