Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Eco paper weight

Let's start at the beginning. This is some type of giveaway to promote the Model 19 Series of air meters. The 19 Series was introduced in 1917 when the ECO was a division of the Western Manufacturing Company of Oskaloosa, Iowa. This was not made by the Bennett Pump company. It appears to be made of cast iron, so I doubt very much it s not a door stop. If it was it would weight five pounds or more. It has been suggested this is a paper weight or a giveaway from the early 1920s.
