I just acquired a visible that isn't in either of Jack's books. Fortunately I only need a pump handle and a couple of light sockets. It still has the original hose and nozzle.

Are these light sockets available? There are threads on the end as if a light diverter of some sort was attached.
I know these sockets were used on otherpumps of the era, and probably other applications.

I don't think any vendors have the Alum. shrouded light sockets.
I'm sure the only reason it's not in Jack's books,he didn't have anything lit. on it.

Was this the one that was on ebay a few weeks ago? I tried researching it too but to no avail. Probably made by someone else for M&S?

Looks to have a G&B style Door, Wayne 83 Indicators & a Clear Vision Globe Ring.
Probably should have a Quick-Shut-Off Gate valve also.

No, It was advertised locally in the St. Paul Minneapolis area Craigs list. I negotiated a price and brought it home. It is in really nice shape and is only missing the pump handle. I would like to come up with a pair of those aluminum lights. I get stuck on originality. I have a Ottawa that has the same light sockets.

Maybe some pumps were assembled like some of the 20's cars were? The shut off valve is there behind the door.
If there is no one on this board that has one of these pumps it must be rare.

Valve inside door is most likely a Drain Back, to empty cylinder at closing

My hopes are not very high that I will find an original pump handle. The shaft is 7/8 and the flats are 5/8. Maybe a more common pump handle will interchange.
