A Buddy of mine picked up this pump; there are no markings and I am trying to help him Identify the model etc... I checked Jack's book cover to cover and no such luck; according to my buddy he says the center portion is made of brass that has been painted over. By the description and picture I think maybe it is some type of reproduction; but would like any help that you can provide.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback so far; trying to get pictures of the top and a close up of the base.

W/O better pictures; Base looks to be RUSH H [Stove Pipe], Cylinder base looks like it could be from a NATIONAL, pump handle looks to be RUSH. I've never seen/heard of any pumps using BRASS sheet metal.

I thought it looked partly like a Rush also, the top section looks like maybe an American?? Is the entire sheet metal made from brass, this would be a first for me. Take some better pics and post then maybe someone can clear it up.
