I would be looking for a twin engined AC, at least that is what my eyes tell me. AF or Navy?

If this were England they would say it was from a Spitfire!

Check out a few of his other items - some with a "piece of plane" still attached:

You're right. 2 Engine Prop. One of the missing gauges is the Cyl Head Temp gauge.

Well, at least the prices are cheap so far! :shock: If they are something that someone needs, but calling them "Warbird" parts without having a clue as to what they are from? :roll: They are green, they must be from warbirds!!!

I compared 'em to personal panel shots of B-17, B-24, B-25, DC-4, A-26 no dice. The low pressure light caps resemble those I've seen in a DC-3 but the cut of the panel didn't quite match.

You could spend hours cruising this site for more variety:

Could be from a ground simulator as well.
