I picked up an old Cadillac tire gage and leather pouch this morning. If anyone knows what year or years this gage was sold? I would greatly appreciate the info.

Have seen them before.  It is my understanding they are aftermarket products currently being manufactured.

Terry.... It all depends on your definition of OLD ? That tire gauge might still be manufactured, however I acquired a new identical unit with a Buick logo about 25 years ago as a merchandising item (we used to call them "trash and trinkets" ) ...from the Buick factory Sales Promotion Department in Flint. One of their suppliers of current incentive items sold them to Buick and I think the manufacturer was a company called Schrader, who I believe had been in the air gauge business for many years. I know they made this same product as a promotion item with many different company names on the face. I also suspect it sold in quantities of 100 or more for about $10.00 or less including phony leather snap case. bb
