very similar to the Serck tank, however there is no makers mark on mine…… ;o(

it is likely to date from late 70's although it could of course be earlier…...

By no means did all Serck tanks have the natty little brass label. I have had quite a few of these over the years and only 1 has had the label.

well that is quite interesting. a while back i almost secured a sale for it on the basis that it was similar to a serck one, but was turned down due to no label!

As we all know a label is more important to some folks that the thing it is attached to.

More fool them.

When I first saw it, I thought it was one of the wrinkly scrotum ones that were offered a few years ago, but now I think it's an original that has had a lot of work done.
