Is this an antique?

Removed from an older building today. Offshoot company appears to be in business. Does anyone still work with these valves?

    Probably a pneumatic steam control valve. Fisher/Emerson makes a lot of these now. Can’t remember who owned them.

    That looks like a very old spence regulator valve. Or another companies equivalent.
    Possibly a regulator or a pilot. Or a pilot regulator combination.

    It's a Boylston steam regulator. Just curious if anyone still has one working or an idea on age.

    That was part of a common boiler water level device on high pressure steam boilers back in the 1960's and1970's and we had a few still left when I retired in 2007. When they worked they were "bullit proof" as we used to say and when they had trouble they were a pain in the butt
