Draft Pak keg

[Grott]

Hi, thanks for allowing me to join your forum. I'm from Adelaide South Australia and have been brewing for many years.
I recently acquired two 3 gallon kegs and would like some help as to history/information (google searches failed to locate).
The only identification is on the side of the lids stating:-

DRAFT PAK
MIAMI FLORIDA
PATS PEND








Thanks in anticipation of information

It's a little fuzzy, but they look like ball lock posts.

 

[Grott]

Yes they are standard ball lock posts however I'm enquiring as to any info on the kegs themselves as never seen before nor has anybody else to date.

I've dug around but have yet to find Word One about those kegs...

 

[Grott]

Thanks day trippr, hope you find something.
Cheers

Can you take a picture of the printing or what's stamped on the side of the keg? Other identifying marks may help

 

[Grott]

Thanks daveMN. Picture as requested. There are no other identification marks, only on the lid.

Maybe dig through the USPTO for the alleged filing?

Cheers!

Hi again, still trying to get info on these kegs. Two keg manufacturers in Florida unable to help. Any suggestions other than US patent Office, that's just about impossible from here.
Cheers, hope someone can help.

It's a keg made by a now defunct inc. Not really sure what else you are trying to find out though.

Thanks getack, as these kegs were so unusual just wanted to get some history on them. They are in top condition and I am using them successfully. It would seem these are over 50 years and because of condition would say probably proto types?
Cheers and thanks again
