Hmmm, Paul may be on to something!
BIG - this is an Eco 97 wall mount (floor space is tight). Innards look better than the exterior would lead you to believe. I'll give it a complete cosmetic and mechanical resto. Show me your finished ECO for a bit of inspiration!

The Eco 9X series of balanced tire inflators debuted in 1947. Mine is a 1948 model and has a lot of unique early design features which were changed (improved? i.e. plastic air lines replaced copper/steel bell replaced brass!) in future versions. There is a pretty robust following of these including restoration components. Can you say Pneuma-Mechanical Beast?! Starting point:

I blew it apart over the last few evenings (notice a quick buff of the brass bell brightened things up a bit). The unit is a nice mix of brass, copper, pot metal, cast iron, anodized fasteners, porcelain, etc.....
