I remember many years ago seeing a very small clockface pump in a Texaco bulk plant. The guy told me these pumps were used in orchards. It looked like a very large toy pump, much smaller than the commercial/farm pumps that are so common. I remember it being a very detailed clockface. Just like it's big brothers. I also remember a discussion about their value with someone back then, and I do remember they were very expensive. Does anyone have any info on these pumps?

Gary, I know nothing about these Orchard Pumps, I have a small and toyish clockface though. It's a G&B model FMP but it's not detailed nor really worth anything. The reason I have it is I want one of everything, good, bad and in the middle.
Anyway, here it is;



Thanks for the interesting post Gary! Hopefully more members will respond and we'll learn something here.

Neal, I think yours is a commercial pump. As my memory returned, I remember the pump being close to an Erie 10 model. These were small exact replicas of their Big Brothers. Here is a pic of BIG BROTHER, but this "orchard pump was only about 3 feet tall.
