Early Masonic Motometer

This beautiful brass item was called a motometer when Brother Steve Kapp bought it on eBay.  It was made by Boyce Motometer Co. and was used on a Chandler automobile. The back side has a glass tube where the driver could see if his car was over heating.  it is 7 inches high and 8 inches wide.  This piece alone, without the Square and Compasses emblem, is worth a good bit, but with the emblem on it of course its worth even more.   It is very well made and a treasured piece in Steve's collection.

A special "Thanks" to Brother Steve Kapp (kalbo on Ebay) for submitting the pictures of his wonderful motometer.  Steve is a Master Mason and a Masonic Collector who is affiliated with the below listed Masonic bodies:

Leonard Wood Lodge No. 105, Angeles City, Philippines
