Just wondering, would that be something that's worth more than normal, since is Kilograms per CM and not P.S.I.???

Back in 2000 my wife was assigned to an U.S. Army base near Brunsen, in the Netherlands. I went with her and we live nearby for 90 days. Would go to Liege to go to the flea market next to the Roman wall. I bought this sign. Can you tell me what it says and do you think it dates to 1950?  Since I can't see the inside of your ECO (there is differences) your unit was either made in 1949 or 1972, but because there is no number before the U indicates that it is a 1949 model. This would make it one of the oldest units I have ever seen. By chance, are their two holes drilled into the very top of the unit, into the aluminum frame? If you are looking for parts or more information about these units, check out my website: www.petrocollect.com

Thanks for the information, I don't think there are holes on the top of the unit for your sign it cames from liege for sure, this sign was placed on the wall for the visitor centers base in the city "fédération du tourisme" : Tourism federation "province de liège" : State of Liège this sign has the shield of Liège used in the 50's by the way here is the new shield of the city...not a great design
