Hello everyone. I just bought an early Hayes(Wichita) visible pump without the glass cylinder and I really need to find an original etched glass cylinder in good condition. It's the one with the gallon markings etched in the cylinder. I am also in need of an original top and the four corner pieces of trim that go on the outside edge of the corners of the pump. If you have any of these or other Hayes visible parts send me a PM. Thanks, Braden Splichal

Ron Scobie makes both the corner pieces and the bonnet. The bonnets always seem to be missing on these as they were only held onto the pump by gravity.

Okay thank you. I really would like to go with all original parts though because only the bonnet, corner pieces, and the cylinder are missing. It's the first pump made by the Wichita Company, made in 1921. Thanks, Braden

Just curious, Braden. Is your serial number higher or lower than mine? I have not seen another Wichita other than mine.
Good Luck!

I don't know if this helps or not,,, there are likely some glass cylinders out there that are close to those measurements, 27 x 12 .... I know a very common cylinder here in Canada is the one for a clear vision/SSE visible and it measures 12-1/2 x 26-1/2, don't know if that would work or not ? But they are easy to find usually around the $400-600 range and have etched numbers.
