I’ve been collecting and using vintage tire pressure gauges since I can remember really… Mostly because I just really appreciate their aesthetic and the way they feel in my hand. Age brings a tactile feel and a personality that the newer offerings just can’t match.

So, I decided to make a little video hoping to save a few more gauges. If you are into such a thing, check it out:
