It’s Raining Early Speedo’s!

The last few weeks eBay was a great source for buying Split Bug speedometers from the 1940’s (1 2 3 4).   I bid on all four of them, even though they weren’t  in very good condition but I didn’t won any of them. Luckily I already have a good one for my Split. Oh, and a spare one, too! But hey, I still could use one for filling up my show case… Looking at these speedometers you begin to wonder what happened to the Splits that used to have them installed? Or where they spares too, back then?
