I want to make a fair offer on this , I haven;t seen it in person yet. I don't even know where to start . I have no experience with visibles, I'm guessing it's an early Fry Mae West and with all the rust maybe 1600 on the high side. But I could be way off, and the mechanism on the outside is something I've never seen and can't find any reference to. Thanks , Tom

I don't have one. I've probably only had half a dozen pumps in my lifetime. I may go take a look at it anyway. Seemed like a real nice old guy on the phone and I have a feeling I'd enjoy talking with him .

So I hesitated on this one, finally decided to go get it and missed it by that much. Oh well, there's always next time. A couple of you pm'd me on this. Thank you for that.

Wow...too bad you missed it. Early, rare pump. $1600 would have been an absolute steal.

In the words of Homer Simpson .... Doh! Like I said earlier he was a really nice guy and he told me today he ended up getting a bit more for it so I'm happy for him.
