I've recently acquired a gas pump and was trying to find some information about it. I believe the pump is about 1912/1913 vintage. It has a brass tag that says "Manufactured by The Bakersfield Iron Works". It also has the letters A. O. Co. cast into the base. Any ideas?
Thanks

Welcome to Oldgas Your question is welcome - but we will need a bit more information to help you. If you can post a phot of the pump, I'm sure one of us can help you out. If you can't figure out the photo thing - send me the image and I'll get it posted for you. My e-mail address can be accessed by clicking on the little 'Mail' icon at the top of this post.

I'm sure it's a gas pump and not a sump pump. I took a fitting off and you could smell old gas. And the barrel can be locked also. She is ugly but I sure love these early pumps!

d.e.
I've seen quite a few Bakersfield pumps, but this is the 1st that has a complete barrel. I have seen them with a lower cover.
Sorry I don't have more information.
