Up for sale is a rare, highly collectible, and fully authentic World War II Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) dual-instrument training panel. This unique assembly features a vintage Canadian military aircraft altimeter paired alongside a \"Security\" mechanical stopwatch/timer.
The instruments are securely mounted inside a heavy-duty, crinkle-finish black metal desktop housing featuring a folding rear kickstand support. Unlike standard panel-ripped instruments, this unit was explicitly engineered or modified as a standalone station setup—making it a perfect, turnkey display piece for a desk, bookshelf, or military history shadow box.
FUNCTIONALITY & CONDITION:
• Everything Works! The mechanical stopwatch timer winds smoothly, ticks strongly, and runs properly. The altimeter is highly responsive and changes actively with local barometric pressure fluctuations. Finding fully functioning gears in instruments of this age is extremely rare.
• Dial Condition: Both instrument faces are incredibly clean. The stenciling, lettering, and hands are bright and easily legible. The original glass lenses are intact with no major cracks.
• Casing Condition: Displays a fantastic, authentic historic patina. There is expected minor surface wear and minor paint chipping on the edges of the metal frame from age and military training use (please inspect all high-resolution photos closely).
