I came from a group of items from a mechanic in the 20th AF in WW2

Probably an oil pressure gauge.

I figured oil or air pressure, any guess as to aircraft type? I think the 20th flew B29s in the pacific.

Most A/C I'm aware of used a 3-1 gauge for oil press, fuel press and oil temp. 3 things in one hole in the inst panel.
Bombers or something with enough space in the panel could run a dedicated gauge for individual functions.
This might have been from the B-29 as the flight engineer's station had many instruments.
Even APUs might have had an individual oil press gauge as well as serving equipment.

It's not from a B-29.
