Just bought two of these kegs yesterday. I thought they looked strange when I bought them, but I thought I could convert these into home brew kegs. You can imagine my excitement and the eye roll that I got from my wife when I explained my plans!

Here is some information on the kegs:
They hold about 2 - 2.5 gallons and weigh at least 15 lbs. each. The steel that these are made of is much thicker than usual cornelius or firestone kegs
Labels on the them say "King of Cream" Manufacturer of Whipped Cream Dispensers. Underneath it says something about being a Div. of Swift and Co.
These are high pressure kegs, the label on the back indicates that they are to be operated for whipped cream at 175 psi.
They have pressure gauges on their tops.
My plans for these kegs has changed, I am not going to convert them. Since they are capable of holding high pressure, they might be more useful to someone in their current condition. However, I may just sell them to a more modification minded brewer. When I do sell them, I'll place a listing in the classifieds section of the forum.
I researched and found little information. Very little information. So I'm turning to my fellow brewers to give me a little more insight. Has anyone used or came across any kegs like these before.
Any information is appreciated.
