Dave,
I appreciate the suggestion. I believe you're right as these look pretty rough even cleaned up!
A couple of questions;
Are the new ID plates brass and engraved? Do restorers generally stamp the pump numbers on to the new plate?
On the porcelain "Contains Lead" plates, is there a good way to curve them so they fit the skin?
Orlando
ps Doesn't the original brass plate offer some proof of authenticity to the pump? The original ID plate seems to give it some sense of who, what, where, and when; a document of its origin. I am interested to hear what thoughts you have on this.
Thanks
