instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

I will say UNcommon. First one I have seen. I hope shipping was not expensive LOL. JM
Cats Forever
The only one of these I ever saw was in a toolbox on a Cat 30 that sold about 20 years ago. Most folks wouldn't know what the C T stood for. Most of the give aways were cheaply made and the wire type was usually sandwiched between two pieces of tin. I preferred the ramp type as one just slides the plug around until it stops and read the gap number.
I would bet there are not a lot of these in circulation!! 😊 😊
I think they came out ww2. not sure though. you think giveaway?? i was hoping later toolkit item. C.T. Co. is on most serial number tags thanks.
Cats Forever
AG-M I think you are right they look pretty good for a giveaway. They look like they may have been a giveaway if you bought a Cat!! The guy that had the Cat 30 did not have any other Cats and of course no ponies. I wonder if the gauge came with the Cat 30 as the guy never threw any thing away. Maybe some early gas experts could help us out. I would guess they did not come out in WWII as there was such a demand for AL for aircraft.
I don't think its made of aluminum, haven't received mine yet. I think they were cadmium plated.
D46U straight blade,D46U cat angle blade,allis chalmers AD4 grader and Khoering 404 dragline. D4C 40A,D4 2T and scraper.
very common and could even be a give away. many many like that around here and i don't think C.T. stands cor caterpillar either ??? probably a product of the long gone era of the J.A.Pan company.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
