The gauge was listed as a Troxler 4640-B which contains a source of up to 9 mCi Cs-137. The seller listed the item as being in NY so the NRC contacted NYS DOH (New York State Department of Health).

The item was delisted from the auction site and the seller was contacted by the NYPD to recover the device. The gauge for sale was determined to be one reported stolen from a licensee on 6/9/03.
