curb pump? pre-visable? I found this pic on an auction site.. Thanks

It looks like the well pump my grandparents had on the porch in PA.

It looks like a hand operated WATER PUMP to me.

I agree with the others. Looks like a hand operated well pump to me. If you get it cheap enough they look good as decoration around the house. People also collect these just as we collect gas pumps.

This is just a one-page example of the water pump that are listed in this catalog.

SO ITS A WELL PUMP? NICE NOZZLE..

got me there db!head in the clouds!doh!!gaspump brian.

If it was complete retail-painted for yard art would be about 140.00 around here. That one looks to be missing some stuff so dont spend too much. If the only thing missing is the flat bar that went to the plunger you could put a piece of flat stock on there for looks.50.00?
