For your consideration is a vintage all brass (with wood handle grip) pump as shown in the photos. It measures approximately 24 inches tall. The main brass tube is 1 1/2 inches diameter. This pump seems too nice to scrap and I’m hoping someone wants it and can put it to use.


I do not know, exactly, what this pump was used for. PLEASE NOTE that I stuck each end in a bucket of water and it did not pump / do anything. Although, I suppose it’s possible that this pump needs to be somehow primed / filled prior to use, but I did not attempt that. I opened this pump up, expecting to maybe find a worn leather seal but I did not find that. Although it appears that a seal could maybe be sandwiched by the bottom threaded fitting. The one-way brass ball makes me think that this pump would fill on the down stroke and pump on the upstroke, which seems opposite of how I think it should work. The innards all appear to be in good condition. PLEASE NOTE that the bottom foot rest part is bent. Note that the bottom threads are garden hose threads while the top is your typical plumbing IPS threads. If by chance, you don’t want the hoses, I can leave those out and just include the fittings and that may reduce shipping cost. PLEASE NOTE that you are purchasing this item as-is and as-pictured. Thank you for your interest.
