QR Code Link to This Post
Offering for sale this rare piece of aviation manufacturing history: a vintage, double-ended GO / NO-GO cylindrical plug gage from the historic Wright Aero Corp. (Wright Aeronautical Corporation). This tool was an essential quality control instrument used on a factory assembly line to inspect internal tolerances for precision aircraft engine components. Perfect addition to any collection of WWII aviation history, vintage machinist tools, or industrial Americana.
The gage features a solid hex-shaped yellow body with high-contrast steel pin indicators on either side. Each end face is clearly stamped with its original engineering and dimensional markings:
- GO Side Stamped: WRIGHT AERO CORP. | GO 1.0015 | 3T-22208
- NO-GO Side Stamped: NOGO | 1.0005 | 3T-18019 | 5/8 (partially visible sub-marking)
Condition: Good vintage condition with a beautiful natural patina on the faces. Clear, crisp, legible stamped text. The yellow handle shows minor paint wear and a small drill mark/divot consistent with authentic machine shop use and factory tool crib identification. Please see the photos for a detailed look at the condition and exact markings.
