This was in a craigslist lot I picked up today. The tank and valve are Walter Kidde. It is rated for 2100 psi, with the first hydro on 12-45. The tank is 9.5" long, and about 2" diameter, and is also marked "US GOVT". I have come up empty on my google searches. Is this something that was pieced together more recently, or was there a SCUBA application for it in 1945?

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IS MAGIC!!! How long do I have to rub it before the genie comes out? Still not certain about the valve though.
