A Really Old Compressor

What do I have here?? Worth anything?? Looks fairly safe

Looks cool to me, not sure of its value?

It works I plugged it in and my shop is still standing. I know it was my Grandfathers and I remember it as a kid but never seen one online.

There are a couple of us here on the board who have the same compressor - go to the 2019 Garage Sale thread and scroll down to posts 4087 and 4089. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=411194&highlight=saylor+beall&page=205 There should be a data tag on the base with the Saylor-Beall name and serial number.

I like it, looks sweet!

If it's not too noisy, I'd toss a larger tank below it and use it for a trim nailing and whatnot. Portable like the little oilless pancakes, but maybe not so damn noisy!
