Hi. I had better re-introduce myself. My name is Nigel and my family and I are from BC, Canada. Back in January when I joined Primary Petroliana, I was telling you all about my first restoration project. At last some pre and post pictures for you all to enjoy...hopefully. This project entailed many challenges from collecting of parts, restoring old parts and raising the ceiling in my garage to accomodate the bigger part, more to come.

So, this truly has been a labour of love. I have enjoyed every minute and I'm sure from you, my peers, that historically this pump is almost certainly wrong...but none the less this is it. My next project is an American 2387-V. Is there anyone out there who would own or know of someone that had the original glass cylinder, 12 1/2 X 27? And a nozzle receiving unit? Please contact me if so. Once again guys, best wishes to you all over the upcoming festive season, Nigel.

Wow that is very nice!! Love the brass! The more the merrier to me. The overall color scheme looks awesome! And it looks great with the knotty pine!
Great job!

Talk about a work of art - amazing job for your first pump and even more amazing that your first one was a a Mae West - not an easy one to do. You did yourself proud Nigel.
