Being a Hobart, which is a commercial refrigeration and grocery equipment company, any chance that is/was a refrigeration compressor?

The only thing I can tell you is that ol timer is old school cool! I haven't a clue how well it performs, but I would keep it just cause it looks so darned cool!

Ditto that! Love the look of it.
Working pressure is 50 lbs? Am I reading that right? Or is that 150?

Hi,
My father has one of these as well. Its a 1927 model. We contacted HoBart here in Ohio and they had no info for us. All I got was "we stopped making compressors a long time ago."
It was My father's uncle Jack compressor. He had it in his pull barn. After he passed my father got it. He has had it for the last 20 or so years now. It still runs like a champ.
