Anyone Know What This Is?

I came across this dashboard piece, and I would like to play around with some steampunk. My problem is that I don't know what this came off of - does anyone recognize it? I'm thinking maybe a boat or a tractor? It has a key, which seems odd for a vintage tractor, and the rpm's seem a bit high for a tractor, but then I'm not an expert on vintage tractors. Anyone have any ideas?
A vintage electric meter note amps written on it. I believe they were locked so no one could tamper with the reading
Perhaps a volt meter, possibly for large equipment, says my husband.
Hmmm i dont think its from a tractor. Im thinking its from a car or truck. Temp is in Deg F that might help you.....
is that not a part of a car dashboard ?
It's a tachometer to measure RPM (revolutions per miute) of an engine's motor. I remember the meter from old car drag racing days.
Here ya go. It's a LUHRS SEA SKIFF Marine Vintage Brass TACHOMETER, OIL, TEMP, AMP GAUGE Cluster
