Re: Ashton Valve Co. 1871

In 1892 Ashton bought out the Boston Steam Gauge company and entered the steam gauge market. The Ashton Valve company is more known today for the gauges than the safety valves that made the company initially famous.

Re: Hello from Boston,mass.

Thanks for the welcome Fred. I look forward to meeting you this September. I have family in the area so I have no excuse not to go this year. Do you have any Ashton items on your boat? If not you have a good 6 months to deal with that issue! :D
