There are no identifying marks I can find, and as you pump the handle, it also operates a wooden paddle up and down to keep the spray mixed.

The tank holds around 15 gallons, i have made a spray lance for it, and it does work well. There is a wooden padle inside that keeps the mix agitated. Any ideas anyone?
