More like the older style Vans gascolators with a crimped on bottom piece.

But, did they ever come in red anodizing though?
Made by Usher maybe?

I suspect the screen and o-ring I linked will work regardless of the vintage of your gascolator (if you decide to keep it). The machined head of each of these appear to be quite similar.

Talked to Usher today, and it is indeed their gascolator - and it is the 10 fluted design that was recalled. So they are sending me a new spun bowl. It's going to be a designer / one-of-a-kind gascolator because the upper feed side is red, and the bowl will be blue. They don't remember manufacturing it in red, so the theory is that the original builder had it anodized. Here are the pix I sent to Usher for ID:

Thanks to everyone for their help, and alerting me to a recalled device.
