Well... unfortunately, I don't have a speck of good news for you.

It was made by the Sully Aluminum Company in Long Branch, Ontario, Canada.

This is another one of those small manufacturers that tried to cash in on the post WWII aluminum cookware market... literally in and out of business in the blink of an eye. That would make it about 60 years old, so there are no replacement parts for this model. You'll find more information with these in depth articles on the website:

Used Pressure Cookers

I assume it is a twenty two quart pot. It has a geared gauge on it as well as the release weight ,but it also has a peacock on the top that you open to let the steam off to open the lid.

On the dial of the gauge it is stamped National Aluminum company.

This company went on to become Presto, with the name changed back in the 50s.

So, you have a ancient and orphaned pressure canner from one defunct company, with a bootlegged pressure gauge from another company -- which was a dangerously unsafe idea -- but it was probably rigged up that way when a replacement was needed after the original manufacturer went out of business.

I certainly understand that you may want to keep this unit for sentimental reasons, but I wouldn't recommend trying to salvage it as an operable pressure canner.
