Hello, I am cleaning out my late husband's barn and came across this old aircraft instrument panel. There is also a Bulova Watch Co B-11 altimeter that was in the same box which appears to be from WWII. Many years ago, I remember that he helped to restore a crashed airplane which he called 'dacron covered' but I don't remember any details about it. The plane is gone (I think he sold it about 20 years ago). Could this be from that plane? I wonder if there is much value in this and where I can sell it? Thank you for any help you can offer.

That "N" number may be traceable.

Could be this
If this is the airframe then the registration was cancelled in 2012, it may be the instruments were removed then remounted as a display piece.

Two aircraft were registered as N39193. a Curtiss Jenny JN4C biplane cancelled in 2012 and Taylorcraft BC12-D monpplane cancelled in 1981. My money is on the Taylorcraft as the panel on the JN4C was very very basic.
The panel could have been a lashup until a suitable panel was found. Both would have been recovered in dacron on restoration hence the name.
