Was this for a car or boat? Do you know what year it's from? I contacted the Faria Company but never heard back. I want my listing to be accurate. I also want to be able to get the best price as I'm selling it for my elderly neighbor to help him out.
The base of the front face plate reads: Patent Pending Thomas G. Faria Co. New London, Conn. U.S.A.
Appreciate any help. Thank you.

Car seems unlikely as it only goes to 5000. It could be a stationery engine.

Reading further, they made tachs for everything and everyone: boats, planes, industry, military, you name it.

Thank you. He thought it may have come from a boat but he wasn't sure.

Not for a boat. A boat tach usually has a cylinder select switch on it. It may be for a six cylinder diesel engine seeing it only goes to 5,000 R.P.M.
