Vintage Brass Collection: Trident 1 1/2", style 8 water meter to restore or ??

Description

Having traveled all the way from New York, this 1 1/2" (pipe size) all brass water meter (one bolt is not brass) found its way to the foothills of California.  It metered thousands of gallons (in cubic feet) of water before being retired from service; not sure if due to wear and tear or upgrade.  It lay for many years in the weather among the leaves, dirt and brush before being rescued.
It has not been checked or tested for working order.  The gauge has been relieved of its burden of dirt and debris plus the lens has been cleaned but cannot guarantee its workability.  The meter also has the original iron flanges attached on each side with the pieces of the iron pipe and a brass shut off valve.  The overall length is 22.75".
The meter read out gauge and brass housing shipped unattached in protective packaging with the meter.  One of the original hold down screws for the gauge was mi
ssing so am including 2 others to use that match until and if a match can be found for the original screw.
