“POTM” November Hello everyone, sorry I am a day late. For November POTM, I picked some of the most sought after visibles out there, the Guarantee models 17, 177, and 77, better known as the Fry Mae West visibles. Here are the three models this POTM will cover.
Guarantee 17: 1918-mid 1920's. This is the 5 gallon version, hand crank. It could be had with an internal pumping unit, external pump attachment, and even come with no base. -Guarantee 117: 1925. Hand crank 10 gallon version. Also could've had a Wayne or Rush top conversion. -Guarantee 77: 1920's. Hand crank, 10 gallon.
This POTM should be a fun one! I do not have a fry unfortunately, but here is a vintage photo I found off Google to get this post going! I hope you all enjoy! Thanks!

What a picture..from wondering how the building is standing, look at the porch supports, and all the advertising, to all the guys seemingly having fun while drinking Coke...it could be a Coca-Cola commercial. And, oh yeah, there's a visible pump there too

I prefer clock face pumps but when this 117 became available I simply had to have it. It's been waiting for me to take it a part and reassemble it with new wiring and the replacement of missing parts. I typically do not restore a pump but these look so great all cleaned up that I might do a full restore.
