Hey, Aaron, I believe what you have there is an old MAFCO (Manual Arts Furniture Co.) bench. They are (thankfully) no longer available. I had one here that I took apart and turned the top into a creeper seat. It is more serviceable now than it ever was as a piano bench! We get Jansen benches here exclusively, simply because they are rebuildable. I may have to look into those gas benches, though. Look Œem in the eye and tell Œem what they need! Regards, Ken Z.
