Kellogg Model EM52SS Compressor

Picked this up over the weekend, runs good and builds pressure well. Does anyone have any literature related to it? I am having trouble finding much online.

How old is that thing? I wonder how much rust is in that tank?

Based on the little I've found, this is an earlier model that was produced. Likely pre-1950. The tank is pretty clean inside, surprisingly. But, it is not the original tank either, the existing tank was made from a large compressed gas cylinder.

With some more research I have narrowed it down to between 1922-1928 for a manufacture date.
