Does anyone have a guess on who made this and when? I was thinking American Scale or Eco but the top section is gone and this is the only photo I have. Any info would be much appreciated.

Air-Scale Company, Toledo, Ohio. They made some great products. Finding the head will be tough. Let me know if you need literature or any parts.

What you have is a Air-Scale Model JR. It was introduced in 1933 and the original price was $90.00. It came with a 25 ft. air hose on the reel.

It is pictured on page 17 of my Air Meter Identification book

For more information on my book, see www.gaspumpbible.com
