Its an All American 931 by the looks of it. I have one myself as well as a mirro. The coin that the all American retrieves is well worth it. If you look they can be had at times for about 190. Can hold 7 qt jars, 16 or 18 pints can't remember at current. Heavy, well built last a life time or two, no rubber seal to replace as it is a metal on metal seal. Coat it with olive oil every now and again. It's a work horse that's for sure. There is I think two more sizes bigger than this one, a 941 and on other but can't remember. It can hold 16 qts I believe, and 28 pints.

Comparing the all American to the mirro.... All American is significantly better built, appears to be milled but not certain, where as the mirro seems to be pressed. All American holds pressure better and comes to pressure faster. Has 6 screw down latches versus the two in the handles that the mirro has, and sadly takes up a lot of space. However I couldn't imagine not having one. Ours both get used often as we can as much as possible, including meats. If your thinking about a pressure canner, find the all American that suits your needs whether it be large batches once or twice a year, or a small one, they have them. And you can cook in them too, wife did 10cups of rice in each one for some church dinner we helped out with.

Oh and of course as you see with what sideways is doing they double as a water bath canner.

It is a 921 it will hold 19 pint or 7 quarts.
These canners are built like tanks.
