AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique Flexcon brand pressure gauge is a pressure measuring instrument, designed to indicate pressure in kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²). The device features a circular dial with a white background, graduated from 0 to 4 kg/cm², with a green zone between 1 and 2.7 kg/cm², indicating the recommended or optimal operating range. The red needle is clearly visible and contrasts with the dial for precise reading.

The front part of the pressure gauge is surrounded by a brightly finished bezel, probably metallic or chrome-plated, which enhances the industrial and vintage appearance of the object. The dial bears the inscription "FLEXCON" in clearly legible black letters, as well as the unit "kg/cm²" below the center, elements that attest to the professional use of this type of instrument.

The dial glass shows traces of use, with some visible marks, and the white background of the dial shows signs of wear and small smudges, characteristic of old instruments used in a technical environment. No other inscriptions or details are visible on the presented face.

This type of pressure gauge was commonly used to monitor pressure in industrial installations, hydraulic systems, or boilers. Its compact form and sober design are typical of technical measuring instruments from the mid to late 20th century.

The item is presented on a plain background, which allows for appreciation of the overall good condition of the bezel and dial despite the traces of use. The object is ideal for decorative use in a workshop, an industrial-themed display case, or to complete a set of antique measuring instruments.
