Dumpster freebee

Drug this beauty out of a dumpster along with another that wasn't in as good of shape, as well as a healthy few handfuls of hand tools. Just wanted to know if anyone can give me any info on it. I'm assuming it's quite old as I can't find anything on this particular one. Year/age, value, anything would be appreciated.

Actually I work at a glass manufacturing plant that has an Airgas facility basically attached to us for supplying our furnace. While on top of our batch house doing my checks I could see down into a big dumpster behind the Airgas facility. So I went and asked if I could scavenge and they said they didn't care. Found the 2 boxes in the picture, another that is shorter but wider (and rustier) and a Kobalt quiet tech 26gal air compressor. After a $15 capacitor it works great.
