Rob Amaral Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 I found this in the front corner of a 1900's garage.. Yeah, I called it out and did all the due diligence stuff.. My question is, is this just for lifting lubricants or for gasoline or kerosene??? Any thoughts? You Kibbels out there?? Download Attachment: IMG_2267.JPG 124.21 KB
Chad Fabry Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 It's definitely a liquid pump. My bet is a gasoline pump. What brand was it? The name is cast into the base but the forum resolution isn't good enough for me to make it out.
Bill Kibbel Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Small in-ground gasoline tank. I've seen that exact valve/nozzle on the right several times on gasoline pumps on old farms and in a large garage. The hand pumps are usually rotary style. Ever see a building with gasoline lighting?
hausdok Posted March 14, 2015 Report Posted March 14, 2015 Saw one a couple of years ago in the garage of this big old craftsman-style mansion I did. I figured there was an old underground tank nearby and recommended they get the lot surveyed to see if it was still there. There was a large emblem in concrete above the garage door that I think was the Packard ships wheel emblem. The garage had been heated in the day and there was a large room under the garage that was the "chauffeur's' quarters" and workshop. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike
