Eddie-- We had the very same pressure cooker when I was a kid. Mom never used it as a pressure cooker, just as a big saucepan. I hadn't thought of that pan in years, 'til I saw the lid in the picture at the top of this thread.
Great BobLoad®, too!

Nice BobLoad
The upstairs residential kitchen has a Miele. It does a fantastic job cleaning and is super quiet.
Frigilux... That is one of the first Pretos ever manufactured according to Presto. It was my Grandmother's. I had not used it in 20 some odd years and when I went on line to them, they asked to send them pictures as there was no model number on the first "Batch" they ever produced. The BiMetal Pressure Regulater still works.I sprayed it with WD40 for about 2 weeks before I did a water test.

Parts Still Available
The Sealing Rings are available in any hardware store. To replace the regulator,you would have to upgrade to a newer type.

Wow that pressure cooker looks like its from the 1920's. I just wonder how old it really is. We sure have come a long way from that to an electronic one that you can plug in.

Presto
My mother had that Presto Pressure Cooker in the late 40's, early 50's. It lasted until she broke up house keeping in the early 80's.
Lord, I wish I knew where that cooker ended up.

Eddie--Thanks for the extra pics of the pressure cooker. Seeing that pan is definitely a blast from the past for me. I've never seen the pressure regulator before; as I said earlier, my Mom never used the pan in pressure mode. Maybe she'd lost the regulator. Don't ever remember seeing it in a kitchen drawer or anything.
Pressure cooker
I have the same cooker that was my grandmothers. The pressure gauge broke in the late 50's and she had to replace it with the popup type. Nothing is as well built as those. The cast metal can't be beat. I also have the old national pressure canner that ws hers we use it every summer to can from our garden.
