The instrument features a distinctive peach-orange dial face marked "U.S. NAVY" and "PRESSURE INCHES OF MERCURY" alongside the serial number 14083 and the production year 1942. It is housed in a heavy black-finished metal casing designed for secure wall or bulkhead mounting. The dial displays pressure in inches of mercury, utilizing a dual-pointer setup with a black indicator needle and a brass reference hand. The maker's mark "MADE BY FEE AND STEMWEDEL, INC.
