Does anyone have any pictures or know of any pumps like this? It has a 12.5 x 30" glass cylinder and many pipes in the glass housing area. The pump says it is from Ker- something canada.
Thanks

Have you Googled Philip Gies, a lot comes up.

Scott Anderson also wrote an article for PCM about Fry and he mentions Philip Gies.

Naturally a picture would solve this immediately, but did you compare the pump to pictures in the Guarantee Liquid Measure and Correct Measure sections of my book? There was a connection between the companies over the years, most of both companies pumps were designed by the same person.

I will post a picture on Monday of what I have. Yes it does have a big castiron door. I have only one side of the sheetmetal, but was able to make another set. Would like to see what the pump handle hole looks like, for I have the handle and no pumping unit inside of this. It is very tall with the cylinder, and it measures 110 inches tall without the globe. Can't tell what the nozzle holder would look like, but I do have something that would hook onto this just don't know how it would go.
Thanks

I also looked at the pictures in the book, and they do not look like mine. In fact I did google that name and all the pictures do no look like this.

Phillip Gies was out of Kitchener ,Ontario and they did make 5 gallon pumps. They are quite rare. I do have a picture of one and I'll have to look it up. Ted
