I acquired a few of these old gauges and one works. two have the little leather pouches. One end with the nozzle screws off. Can you just squirt a little 3in1 oil in there to get it working?

When I purchased my pickup truck there was three cigarette steel boxes under the seat each with a collection of air gauges in them. Some with pouches and some without.

I am asking for any pointers to get them working. Has anyone taken one apart?

To try to answer your question, the nozzle can be unscrewed to show seals. These would need replacing after 85yrs if that is possible. Doubt any CRC [ 3 in 1] will make it work.
Like everyone else here, I have a couple of these & they do not work ; the US gauge dial type usually work OK for a working one.
Good luck
