I found this thing cleaning out somebody's garage. I can't even begin to guess what it is or what the hell it was used for.



No model number that i can find. Looks like some kind of pressure vessel for something. No idea why it has so many valves or what it connects to.

Filter? Looks too complicated for that. Yeah it does have a pressure relief valve. It also has a carrying handle, so whatever the hell it is, it's meant to be portable.

I don't want to open it until I know what, if anything might be inside it.

It looks like an old natural gas regulator of some sort.

That top part does indeed. Makes me think it is for natural gas. But that doesn't explain the rest of it, or why it's portable. Did someone just go into a hardware store 50 years ago to pick up parts for a mad science experiment?



Okay I decided to open it and I think I know what it is now.



I think it's an old paint or chemical sprayer. Probably used compressed air to mix whatever it's supposed to hold and spray it.
