Thanks Daveb for identifying the recently restored pump in our previous thread! We finally got it put together for my father in law, Ronnie. He actually used the pump as a kid on the farm. Was he happy and couldn't quit smiling when we lit it up? You bet! He's still smiling! We have a total of three we are restoring. We've identified the 2nd one as a Wayne 515 and I am awaiting the type. Here is the one we have no clue about and can't find anywhere. As I am new to this, and loving it, probably don't know everywhere to search. The only ID plate we found so far says, “Guarantee Liquid Measure Co. This one definitely needs a globe. When Ronnie got this over 40 years ago, it just had spacers and bolts between the upper plate / base just to keep it intact so they didn’t lose or separate it, our guess. If you have any info that could help us out, we'd appreciate it so much. Big thanks to Mike at Vic's 66,Tom Buckles and all of you. I have more pics if needed.Thanks again, Randy

It looks like either a Fry 17 or 117, can’t tell if yours is a 5 or 10 gallon. The dimensions for the cylinder will tell you. 10 gallon will be about 13.5”, 5 gallon quite a bit smaller

Dave, Thanks so much again for your time and assistance. The selector rod is 19" long. Also, the top where the lights are attached has 4 holes, whereas, the Fry 17's I've seen online only have 2 holes. This leads me to believe its a Fry 117?? With no markings or plates, we wouldn't know what model it is or year, but I have enough info to restore it. The top plate was only attached so as not to lose the top from the rest of the pump over 40 years ago when given to my father in law. From what I see, we are missing many interior parts, but at least we have many pics of what we'll need. Thank you again.

Agreed. Guaranteed Visible Measure Fry 117 ten gallon pump parts. Only pump that is referred to as a Mae West due to the wide top, narrow waist and wide bottom. Hence, "her" shape. Younger folks call it the Dolly Parton. Paul

17 is the 5 gallon version, 117 the 10 gallon version.

Thanks for the info. We were wondering if we had the Mae West version, all the pics fit that description. The pump selector rod is 19" so assuming it is the 117.
