I finally finished restoring my American Visible. This pump was purchased by my Grandfather and sat in my Grandmother's backyard as long as I can remember. It now has a new home in our den. I'm just glad we have a vaulted ceiling! Here are some restoration pictures. It was a lot of work but I think it turned out pretty nice!

Thanks everyone, My Grandfather bought the pump to pump Tractor Fuel. My Aunt said he got tired of going back and forth to the gas station. I never knew my Grandfather, he died in 1951 when I was 6mo. old. I remember growing up pumping fuel in that Ole pump for the old 2 cylinder John Deer. My Grandmother would paint it every few years with a brush. I'm glad now she did. As you can see from the picture the base was completely buried. Thankfully it was cast Iron. The only tag left on it was the Wofford Division(WocoPep) I left the original globe and base unrestored and have it displayed in my shop.
