Identifying an old air compressor

by Kenneth Brown
(Cullman, Alabama)

I was recently givin and old air compressor that was put up for several years. The compressor still works but I need to identify who made it so I can hopefully get a manual for it. The picture of the back is the only markings on it. You can not tell from the picture but in the circle it says "Made in The United States of America" and right below the circle it is stamped "A12900".

There is no oil dipstick or a site glass for the oil level. It was mounted on a 20 gallon or so tank with a Dayton 1hp motor.

The pressure switch looks like the original and is made by Furnace Electric.

I know the motor and pressure switch info is not really any help but just throwing it out there. If anyone knows the manufacturer or can give me a lead, I would be very grateful.

 old compressor ID
by: Chris Baxter, Kings Valley Or

Hi, I have a 4 cylinder pump from the same company that I'm trying to ID as well. So far the closest thing I've seen is Brunner(same design characteristics), someone also told me possibly a Westinghouse. When I find confirmation I will let you know.
