You are correct, from the days before GC/MS. It is a newer version of the apparatus on page 66 of this book

Looks pretty similar to this gas analysis equipment selling for $900. 
Different manufacturer however!

Edit: This sort of apparatus is still in use, a modern version (see below) is apparantly worth $900, this antique is selling for $185!
