I believe there was a study on this done and the carbon dating goes all the way back to 1808

I'm concidering bidding on it. The packaging looks so 1980... kinda cool.
Plus who wouldn't want an expired 20lb bottle kicking around.

I had an uncle who told me that he used to have Nitrous on his car back in the late 70's... maybe that was his exact kit! Definetly not something you see everyday.

It looks like it's from atleast the 70's, if not older. I'd buy it because it's not often that you see an antique nitrous kit and it's a nice conversation peice.

Go for it Vinny! Like you said, it would make a good conversation piece, and it shows how far technology in this industry has come. I don't think moroso ever designed/sold their own nitrous systems, it was probably another manfufacturers parts just under the Moroso name.
