Here tis. It's an air pump with a built in valve. I use it now for water circulation in my water aging tank. Was my moms but to be conservative I'd guess it's about 55 years old or so.

wow..the oldest thing i'm using here is a filter from '91..
 
Sorry can't post that.....:eek:
 
I have a tank from about 1940 in use, but a number of items in my collection of old aquarium equipment date back to 1890-1940, as well as lots from 1940-1975.

Looks like bakelite, but judging from the brand and cord (plastic, not fabric), I would suggest mid-1950's.

That's sweet, Toirtis. Any chance of pics of the circa 1940 tank?

As for me, have no equipment that is more than 10 years old. I have none in use that is more than 4 years old.
