Most likely a Mistral regulator.....a real relic.

If the tanks are old ICC tanks with the 1/2" post valves, they might be worth
a few bucks to someone as a shop tank (filling tires, etc.) If they have the
newer 3/4" valve, you might be able to sell them to a newbie diver for $20 or
so.

Probably garbage. Take the regs down to the local dive shop and see if they
want them to show students. I had one of the old Mistral regs, with the
finish buffed off to reveal the underlying brass, mounted on a walnut wall
plaque. It was very pretty. I don't believe I'd want to dive with one any
more than I'd care to cross the Atlantic in the Wright Flyer.
