Old National Pressure Canners	Here it is!  A visitor had a copy! As near as I can tell, this manual is generic to all of their pressure canners, including No. 5, No. 7, No. 12, etc. Click here to download the Old National Pressure Canner Manual Feel free to download the manual for personal use, and to link to this page, but do not copy the manual and post it on other websites Background: National Pressure Cooker is the company name (1917) for the Presto company. It became Presto in 1939. So, the National #7's date to the 1940's. The wood handled ones are older than the plastic handled ones. Using a canner that old is a but risky, but this model is still well supported. So, if you replace worn parts, especially the over-pressure safety valve, you will need to have the gauge tested or replaced and check the canner for warping or other deficiencies. See this page for replacement parts
