Merryweather Manual Pump 1879

A Merryweather manual pump built in 1879, sorry for the poor quality image. I fully restored this appliance for a chap whose grandfather was the station officer at Harmondsworth in 1880. On removal of the box seat the number '2' was found in gold leaf, also much of the lining was still under the many coats of paint. The pump was re-conditioned in 1905 and it remained in Harmondsworth in Middlesex all its working life.
