Mid‑20th century brass pressure gauge (Ottone fuso) manufactured by FRO in Verona.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This pressure gauge is a naval relic, actually a historic piece tied to the Italian industry, produced by FRO of Verona.
The history of this instrument is closely linked to the technological development of the 20th century in Italy:
The FRO was founded in Verona in 1924 from the merger of several Venetian realities, already active since 1886.
The scale under the FRO logo is the symbol of the Scaligeri, the historic dynasty that ruled Verona, the city where the company chose to establish its headquarters.
Over the decades, the company became a national and international leader in the field of pressure gauges.
It is a high-pressure gauge designed to be mounted on pressure reducers for naval installations.
The scale goes up to 315 Kg/cm² (which corresponds to about 310 bar), a typical pressure for monitoring specific installations.
FRO was also fundamental for shipyards.
This pressure gauge was used aboard merchant ships to monitor the pressure of the various systems present.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
I will arrange adequate packing for shipping with tracking, promptly."
