Can anyone identify this compressor?

Trying to identify this beast. It was my fathers, believed to be from the 20's. The tank split about 30 years ago and it was sitting for a few years. I stripped it 20 years ago and freed it up by just pouring some Marvel in the cylinders and letting it sit. Painted it, made a new gasket out of cork and then it sat for that time.

I'd like to do a proper rebuild of it and get her running again, but don't know much about it. I don't have access to the original motor or anything else. I know it was a torquey little ****** and was big but I think it was only 110v ( I could be wrong, I was a child when it worked ).

Any thoughts?

I would bet it is a refrigeration compressor. Lots of them were repurposed as air compressors.
