Hello all, I recently visited an old friend that has this sitting around. The story of where it came from was long lost and so I thought Id put it to this collection of Salty Mariners. :)

Anyone know what this was off of

You sure it's out of a boat? Yeah I know it has docking lights, but not many boats have odometers.

Probably British seeing all the Smiths instruments and military with the OD green.

That gauge is the only one that isnt a Smiths, but VDO which is german. Im not sure what its out of but assumed there were no other vehicles that have anchor lights, and port / starboard labels. However you bring up a good point. That does look like an odometer. It also looks like the only non original gauge. Maybe they used a car odometer for boat speed somehow.....
