I just had this Simplex pump restored by Frank Jones. I usually do the restorations myself, but I wanted this one to be extra special. Frank did an amazing job. He is a perfectionist with his restorations and he is very fair on his prices. This is one of my all time favorite pumps! Thanks to Tom Schilling for selling it to me almost a year in a half ago. Enjoy!

Beautiful pump and restoration. The details are what makes a restoration really stand out and this one has had great attention to that. Gives me the itch to take a break from all my electrics and do an old ornate pump!...great job.

I agree with you. Pin-striping is what makes a RESTORATION work stand out. I know this from the master-craftsman that restores my 5-Gal rocker cans + AMERICANA pieces.
Richard tells me that without his pin-striper, his restored pieces would not get any attention. Richard knows his paint job is one of the best!
The Polly Simplex is a museum quality restoration work. The work reminds me of the RED HAT Frank did on that Roman!

Yeah, Dad gets a little shaky without those silver bullets. Or it might be the fact that all the weight of the pump was on his end when we unloaded it from your truck. lol.That is why I am always on the high end when loading and unloading pumps.
