Paris brand, visible on the front of the dial. This measuring instrument has a tubular shape with a circular dial protected by a bright metallic-looking bezel. The dial displays a double graduation: in PSI (pounds per square inch) and in kg\/cm², allowing for precise pressure readings. The inscriptions \"B.E.M. PARIS\" are clearly legible in the center of the dial, with the additional mention \"PSI \/ kg\/cm²\" at the bottom. The graduation goes up to 225 PSI and 16 kg\/cm².\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower part of the pressure gauge features a threaded metal fitting, typical of instruments designed for direct connection to hydraulic or pneumatic circuits. A hexagonal nut stamped \"MULLER BEM PARIS\" is visible, attesting to its manufacture in France and its professional origin. The metal surface shows a patina of use, with small marks, scratches, and visible traces of oxidation, characteristic of a used vintage device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial is encircled by a shiny finish, while the central hand, light in color, remains clearly visible against the white background.

The whole is presented on a dark blue background, highlighting the contrast with the polished metal and the whiteness of the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis pressure gauge, by its style, graphics, and materials, is typical of French industrial production from the mid-20th century. The dual-unit display, typography, and robust construction are representative of the control instruments used in workshops and factories during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe item is strictly described according to the visible side: the back, bottom, or interior are not visible in the photo and cannot be commented upon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed instrument sold as is, with signs of use, scratches, and visible marks on the metal.
