Is there any chance someone has a gauge to replace the damaged one pictured?

Sure, just be sure and use a 2 1/2" X 30# gauge. Looks like somebody had put a 100# gauge on it for the line pressure and that's a big no-no. Might and well send it or take it to get repaired somewhere as the seat may very well be blown. However if you're talking about an original Smith gauge like the other 3, I kinda doubt it. Or 2" diameter not 2 1/2, hard to tell by the pic.

They won’t be put into service. Just a cool old pair of regulators that I would like to hang on my wall of antiquities.

Yeah, they're antiques for sure

I have an old, unused set like that but a wee bit newer. The gauges don't have the "Smith's" logo. Came with the "Big 98" medium-duty torch set.
These folks may have an old gauge kicking around: https://regulatortorchrepair.com/

Roll over to https://regulatortorchrepair.com/ and contact them. They recently rebuilt a similar (identical?) regulator set for me and they came out as good as new.

Hey buddy, drop me a text after work tomorrow. I will look and see if I have some old gauges.
