Tonight while readying the air tank for this compressor for paint, I came 
across a tag on it. The tag read:
                 Air-Tic       Steel Tank
                 Designed and Tested For
                 200 pounds Working Pressure
                 Pittsburgh, PA  1926
The "200" and the "1926" were stamped into the tag. This leads me to 
believe that the compressor (S/N 655 SC) was built in about 1926.

PS, Yes it is "Air-Tic" not Air-Tec!
