They look just like airguides, Ron did you have a deal with them to put your logo on the speedo faces? if so, I bed dollars to doughnuts you dont have any floating around right?

Back in the day these were the only acceptable speedos allowed, we bought alot of them & having our name in the dial was not a big deal. I'm so old I remember taking matched sets of speedos down to Wabansia Ave in downtown Chicago and I think it was the 4th floor of an old warehouse where these were made & assembled by AMERICAN HANDS. They would set them on a test rack & calibrate them for me for $4.00 each & for an additional $2.00 they would change out the old dial face & replace it with a fresh one! Sorry I don't have any old ones left.
