I was given an HF vertical antenna by a local ham. My guess is that
it's at least 20+ years old.

All the identification labels have been UV bleached and are
unreadable. The donor doesn't recall the maker or model, and I can't
find anything close with Google Image search. Duz anyone recognize
this antenna?

Looks like a Hustler 4BTV.

Looks like an old Hustler I once had; 4BTV I think.

Hustler 4BTV. If you hade the 80 Meter resonator for the top it
would be the 5BTV. Still have mine and the last time I had it up
(about 8 years ago) it still worked fine.

Concur. Three traps for 4 bands. All look like my old 5BTV, except mine
has a loading coil for 75 meters.
