I've had this in storage for a long time and finally pulled it out. On the base, casted in it says "The United States Air Compressor Co. Cleveland O". I know it's early but I was wondering if anyone knew about what time period it comes from? All info is appreciated, thanks. Les

1923. It appears that you are missing the globe holder & access door. It has been shortened(obviously) and the support rods are missing for the longer pipe.
Let me know if you need more info.

Sorry. I should have been more specific. The air supply pipe on yours has been shortened. It should be around 4 feet long bringing it to around 12 ft into the air. Yours looks like about two inches.

It allowed the air hose to reach all sides of a vehicle.
