Interesting unit.   Any ideas on the units and max on the gage?   How about that tube coming out the middle of the top?
It reminded me of a gas generator (a la http://www.rexophone.com/?p=1372 ).

Thanks for the replies some good ideas.Pick at auction.The guy was a tractor mechanic and had a repair shop at his place. On the underside of the lid there is a piece of copper tubing that that goes from the lid down to bottom of tank.

Some type of pressure tank.  Valve on the top is a schrader valve for air.  Should have a valve in it like an inner tube.  So you fill it and pressurize it then turn the valve to deliver what ever is in the can.

As to what went into it, I don't have a clue.  Looks like a moderate size opening on the faucet for some type of hose.
