I think it's probably not worth as much to practical classicists as the typical "pencil" style pressure gauges sold by car accessory shops for under a fiver as they're much more accurate than these ballistic gauges.

But as a MB-related bit of automobilia, then it's doubtless of interest to owners of Benz of the period who are seeking to collect a full set of o/e tools.
A nice looking thing though and, if I saw it on eBay late one Friday night after a few scoops, I'd have a bid and it could join the stirrup pump that came with no hose and the Tecalemit oil gun with cork seals that don't fit. Guess which prize bum hat didn't discover that until after he'd started filling the thing with oil.....
