They tend to go for $250 and up in fair to excellent condition from what I've seen.
Northill was a subsidiary of Garrett which is still around. I would bet that you see Northill regs come into existence after the Normalair acquisition. I believe their reg bodies were actually made of Bronze a Normalair practice.
John Clifford "Cliff" Garrett founded a company in Los Angeles in 1936 which came to be known as Garrett AiResearch or simply AiResearch.[1] Already operating his Garrett Supply and Airsupply businesses, in 1939 Cliff Garrett established a small research laboratory to conduct "air research" on the development of pressurized flight for passenger aircraft.[2] "[AiResearch's] first 'lab' was a small store building on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles".[3]
In 1939 Garrett incorporated the "Garrett Corporation" and the three operating companies became divisions: Airsupply Division, Garrett Supply Division, and AiResearch Manufacturing Division. Needing additional space, they built their own manufacturing facility in Glendale, California, and thereby established the name AiResearch Manufacturing Company.
Normalair acquisition
The company won a Queens Award to Industry for Export in 1966 and the Garrett Corporation took a 48% shareholding in the company, which was subsequently renamed Normalair-Garrett Limited (NGL). At this time the company had more than 1,300 employees.
