AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description This antique WIKA brand pressure gauge is a pressure measuring instrument designed for industrial applications. The front face features a circular dial with a white background, protected by glass, with a graduated scale from 0 to 16 bar. The black numbers are clearly legible, as are the intermediate graduations, and the central black needle indicates the measured pressure. The word "bar" is inscribed in the center of the dial. A dark metallic frame, with a patinated appearance, surrounds the whole, indicating prior use.
The lower part of the pressure gauge is equipped with a threaded brass fitting, still showing residues of sealing tape, typical of instruments that have been mounted on an industrial or hydraulic installation. The "WIKA" brand is clearly indicated on a small metal plate affixed to the bottom of the dial, guaranteeing quality and precision for this type of instrumentation.
The dial shows signs of wear, a few stains and small marks related to the age of the object, reinforcing its vintage authenticity. The metal casing also shows signs of rubbing and slight scratches. The ensemble offers a retro industrial look, typical of measuring instruments from the mid to late 20th century.
This WIKA pressure gauge has a sober, functional finish, with classic typography and a solid black metal needle. No other decorative elements or accessories are visible on the photographed face. The instrument is presented on a plain white background, highlighting the patina and functionality of the object.
The robust design and simplicity of the dial make this pressure gauge a representative example of industrial control equipment used in workshops, factories, or technical laboratories. Its sober visual presentation and used condition make it an authentic piece for industrial decoration or technical upcycling.
