I have decided to sell my G&B T-34 hand-operated pump. I bought this pump from Rex Benson's auction in 2006, and it is in the same condition as it was at that time. The pump has been painted in Deere colors; "Standard Oil Co" lettering on the handle was hand-painted by Rex's wife Nita.
The pump has "Gilbert & Barker" cast around the base, and has the original ID tag and UL tag. I do not believe the valve/spigot is original. The paint is base/clear and is quite glossy. There is a longitudinal crack along the brass sucker rod.
I have a color copy of the catalog entry from 1916 showing the pump, as well as copies of the parts breakdown and parts list that go with it. This literature was bought from Ron Scobie.
I bought it for $300 plus $30 BP at Rex's auction, and spent around $10 on literature.
Asking $300.
Thanks,
Wes
