Campbell Hausfeld Tools Appraisal

Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor

The item is a Campbell Hausfeld air compressor, characterized by its horizontal tank design. The tank is a prominent bright blue, cylindrical in shape, and prominently displays the 'CAMPBELL HAUSFELD BUILT TO LAST' logo in white lettering, which shows some visible wear, scuffs, and dirt, indicating regular use. The overall dimensions suggest it is a portable or medium-sized compressor, suitable for various workshop or garage tasks. A pressure gauge is visible on the motor assembly, indicating operational pressure. The unit features standard compressor components including a motor/pump housing which appears to be constructed from metal casting (likely aluminum) with cooling fins, and a robust black plastic or metal cover. Numerous wires and hoses are connected, with one red air hose prominently visible extending from the output. The physical condition shows signs of age and considerable use, including dust accumulation, surface grime, and scratches on both the tank and the motor housing. There are no obvious signs of major structural damage or repairs, but the general appearance suggests it has been stored in a working environment. The craftsmanship appears to be industrial standard, built for functionality and durability rather than aesthetic appeal. This particular model appears to be from the late 20th to early 21st century, given the branding and general design. The 'CM' logo within a circle is also visible on the tank, reinforcing the Campbell Hausfeld brand identity. The presence of a foot or stand can be inferred from how it's positioned, though the specific type is not entirely clear from the image. The exposed metal fins on the pump suggest an air-cooled design to dissipate heat during operation.
