Recently purchased a brass control labeled Higgins “remote control” and have not found it that much about it. From researching the patent is was registered in the early 40s. Its not from a landing craft, is this a PT boat throttle?

I’ve tried to post pictures to the forum but I can’t get them to upload, do you have an email I could send them to or a way to private message them to you? Sorry... new to the forum

Might be a ramp control for an LCVP. I'll look at my LCVP stuff tonight.

That could be, the guy I bought it from said there was three hoses attached to the bottom that he threw away, he always said the piece was full of “beach sand”. It very well could be landing craft! Thanks for the help, I’ve kept coming up with dead ends on my research.
