I recently purchased this not too long ago, I haven't had a chance to post'r up... the glass believe it or not isn't cracked or chipped either... Having the framed nozzle holder kinda sold me too after I had went to view it the day I purchased it. It was almost complete, just missing the cover plate by the handle and the attachment up top for a globe. few rods etc.. but all there. The internals are frozen as expected, but I feel pretty fortunate that it wasn't all rusted through & had holes anywhere, it just has a really really baked on paint coating or two that's almost looks like Rhino-liner smile I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.. leave it as is or do a rusto-mod to it... I know I can't take the top off without breaking the glass as it's bonded together over the years & sealed together... I sometimes have thought about drilling a 2" access hole in the top & just plug it back up with a color matching cap so I can clean the glass... it's so far up there nobody would see it... besides, it's meant for me to appreciate & not worry about selling it... rusty eye-candy smile If I do that, it's not happening anytime soon, I'll start tinkering with it over the winter & get it inside.

Dan,

Welcome to the forum, great looking pump you have there. You've come to the right place to find out information on your pump and members here can walk you through removing the glass so you can clean it to make it look more presentable. There is no need to drill any access holes in the top to clean the glass with a little patience and elbow grease the top can be removed and cleaned. As for the look of the pump, imo it looks great the way it is and all I would recommend is to find the missing access cover and try to match the patina of the rest of the pump. We do a post for buys of the week post every Sunday at 5pm pacific time for you to share your new buys and if you would like to start a thread on getting assistance to get the glass cleaned up, I would post it in general discussion. Thanks, good luck with it and congratulations on finding it. Anthony
