Rare Dated 1918 (Last Patent Date Shown) BUICK Moto-Meter Dog Bone Radiator Cap Base. Manufactured by Motometer Company Inc of Long Island City, New York. Silvered solid bronze.  Measures 5-1/2" Tall by 8" Long. Weighs 2-1/2lbs unpackaged. Non-Functioning as the fluid goes clear to the top on this one. Features the timeless and iconic early Buick Script Logo. A logo always reproduced but never found in it's original state such as we have here. Over a hundred years dating back to the time that there were no instrument gauges on the dash to determine the temperature of the engine. You had to look at this device through the windshield while driving to determine how cool or hot your mpotor was running. Very collectible to find in solid condition.
