Here’s an excellent, all-original 1890’s Westinghouse brake test gauge (or gage, as it spelled back then), manufactured by the Star Brass Mfg. Co. of Boston. The gauge has a 6″ dial and the housing measures 7″ in diameter. Housing is made of solid brass. Window is glass.  Don’t know what steam engine this was pulled from, but it’s led a sheltered life judging from its fine condition.  No dings or dents in the housing, no damage to the glass, nice dial face, etc.  
Very cool piece from the early days of railroadiana.
Shipping weight approximately 14 lb. 
That’s about it. I will package it properly so that it arrives at your doorstep safely.  I have been shipping antique phonographs and radios for years, and if you check my feedback, you’ll see that I know how to do it correctly.  Buyer prepays and includes shipping.
