I'd say chalk up another set of collectors we're going to p*ss off! :lol We've already got the camera collectors and some gun collectors.
The siphon pictured above by myself is called a vintage BOC England Soda Syphon. Unless that was already known.

Makes sense considering where some of the production was. I've seen one on EBay so far for $60USD. Happy hunting gents
looking deeper into eBay there seems to be plenty brands with that styled top
Going to go out on a limb here and predict that the bottom half of the tank may be a different soda syphon (without the additional spout) turned upside and joined at the seam, held together with the green/brown casing. The tank does appears to be rather small.
I have been looking at this prop for a while. Followed some other threads before I joined so tonight I took the plunge.
The Scuba mask strap is very close. Correct hardware and the lines marking the adjustment look close to Han's
The Soda bottle I think is it, as far as the top section. My thanks to the various members who have been looking at this.
The Oxygen Mask is a standard and looks like the same one and the tube is similar as it's clear spiral ribbed so we shall see.

I will post pics when it all arrives.
that's a great pile of parts you got there!! where did you find he mask and hose?
it seems a few guys are having problems buying them off ebay. the picture posted shows the older looking mask, but when the mask comes it's the new age one with small hose. with the small hose the underside of the nose is different and the big tube won't fit inside

Stay with me here, this all comes back to this prop:
Thinking about the top knob on the oxygen tank:
View attachment 668107
could it be the top of a drafting tool, similar to these:
View attachment 668108View attachment 668109( It does look like there is a difference in conference from the tools I pictured and the tanks top. These were for quick reference.)
In Luke's "ROTJ lightsaber screwdriver thread", there was talk about the scene in ESB which Chewie uses something similar to Luke tool.

This tool that both use is thought to be a drafting tool. However the tool both Luke and Chewie use has a bulbous top.
Like the existing top piece of the drafting tool was removed and replaced.
This may hold the theory of the bulbous top being added to the tool in both films and the prop department reusing the drafting tools top on the oxygen tank for Empire.
idk, whatta you all think? I may be over thinking this hahah
