Welcome carl.  Without pictures it's rather difficult to  do much searching. If you follow the directions at the top of this section you will be able to post directly here in order for more members to view your item.

Just a quick search using The Pressure Cooker Company Denver brought this up. Don't know if this is what your looks like exactly, but it seems similar to your description.  It sold (with one bid) for $18.99 plus shipping. Unfortunately no other identifying info was provided.

Hi  Carl! 

Nice older piece you have there.

The problem with pressure cookers and them holding their value is that the older they get the more dangerous they generally get.  Not able to hold the pressure well without exploding. 

We used my mom's old one for years and had to finally retire it due to instability.
