My dad pulled out my grandmother’s pressure canner for me to check out. He said his wife is scared of it. Would it be safe I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t. There’s no gasket but it doesn’t look like there’s supposed to be. This thing is probably from early 1950’s

All American. No gasket needed. The new ones are about $400-500. Clean that bad boy up and use it! Probably needs a new gauge, but those aren’t expensive. I’m betting the weight is inside. If not, that’s also an affordable replacement. I’d take it and have it tested too.
