That's a Motometer. Early cars didn't have temperature gauges, and the
Motometer contains a thermometer to give a reading of the coolant
temperature inside the radiator. Some manufacturers offered them as options,
and others were bought aftermarket and added by the car owners, so they
really don't help much with identification.
