Hello, I’m based in Adelaide, South Australia and just picked up this canner off of Facebook Marketplace for $40 AUD.
There are no official markings but it looks nearly identical to an All American Canner… All be it a little older.
I’ve attached some photos and I was hoping someone out there would be able to tell me what I’ve purchased.
It’s show signs of age but am hoping it’s still in working order.
Cheers!

I believe it’s an older All American. That thing on the lid (petcock) supposedly sticks up when the pressure is up. I think it can be changed out for a weight. The stamp means it was likely made in 1986,
I’d be wary of that surface, however. They’re supposed to seal, metal to metal and it appears pocked. If the rim/lid is smooth, you can put in a new gauge, vent, over pressure plug.
All American.
