It's a pressure gauge for the air in some sort of commercial vehicle or bus braking system. Probably generic and seen in several makes and models, definitely the same as the one in my Diddy wagon.

Not on a commercial, most of those are Air/Hydraulic or full air.

The guage in the OP is one of a pair used in the dual system. I have one with the two guages in the same instrument.

Hoping to reach 65 years worth of fixing 65 boxes.
