Hi could you please help with identifying the attached compressor. I
found it at a scrap sales and want to buy it to restore but found no
make or model on it.


This is really old, for a flat belt drive. Possibly 100 years old.

I pulled a two-cylinder version very similar to that out of my uncle's
shop after he died. It had a leather flat-belt drive and he had
converted it to fill the enormous bomb...er, air tank...that hung from
the ceiling of his shop.

I scrapped it, but it was hard to do.
