I have a Joy Curb pump very similar to this one, except it is not this ornate with all of the brass and copper tubing that this pump has. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen a pump like this one? This one is currently on ebay, this is the item # 141248139420
thanks
Don

LOOK in the Book pg 180, the one pictured was one of mine [I Had 2 at the time & sold them at Iowa Gas eons ago. Currently working on one. Bruce Witig just finished 2.

Pump on ebay is Dated on visi 1926 LONG BEACH. One I'm working on I Believe is a little earlier & has M W JOY FS PAT. APLD. For on visi
The one on ebay is missing the Harp that connects the 2 Air Rams for lifting the plunger & the Alum Castings top & bottom for the Barrel. By removing the 2 top 1/2 castings, barrel can be twisted & lowered to access the inner workings [barrel sheet metal has been extended & placed around base].

Does anyone have any pictures of Joy pumps I can use. The only one I have is the one I took at IG of DB's pumps?

Never have found one piece of literature or one ad for Joy.

Just edited above post. Will get Jack some better pictures of either Bruce's pumps or this one IF in time for New Book.

Randy, Where did you get the 1914 Date? Pictures w/ cars, stations?

Does anyone know of any pumps Before 1920 using Air for the pump lift?
The 491 Roman used Air & Roman was introduced in 1924.
WAYNE Bought the Boyle Dayton Co., Los Angeles in 1928 & Both BD & Wayne/BD Division used AIR on their pumps.

Don,
I have seen 1 other JOY like your NON AIR Operated, 1st thought was someone stripped the pump but later realized it was made as a Hand Cranked.
Castings on top of air rams [both sides] are embossed LONG BEACH on all 3 of the pumps I've had.

Here are Bruce's pumps w/ a bit more Plating than original. JOY did use lots of brass.

It's a Good Thing sellers aren't allowed to state False info on ebay! [Hell this seller/restorer didn't/couldn't get pump back to original]

Great info guys. So DB since mine is also missing the "harp" and I would imagine finding a spare one on someone's shelf would be impossible, how would DB suggest fabricating a new one. You have been known to use the most unique items for gas pump replacement parts. It was you that mailed me a sink one time to use as a bonnett for a Bowser 97 pump. lol (the box probably also contained oranges and avacados)

Those restored pumps are great example of industrial design as art. Super restorations with great visual appeal. I am now a member of the Joy Club.

Don,
Post a picture of YOUR JOY [for ME to see what's Missing/Scrutinize!].
I Have a Brass Replacement Harp, cast off the original Cast Iron one.

Do you have an Original Hand Crank?

Don hasn't been to my place in Eons, but I'd swear he has a spy camera mounted some where. LOL
LOOKY what I have for him [Bruce needed 2 & I had them].
IF I can't repair 1 face, I'll have to buy a pr. from Ron Scobie.
