Castel (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

	Heavy duty pitcher pump with an enormous handle at the Folk & Costume Museum in Saumarez Park, Forest. It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before, and I was told that it might be German in origin. (But subsequently we've found a very similar one on Route de la Passée, St. Sampson.)
	Markings: None. Manufacturer: Unk.

	A traditional wooden-boxed lead pump at the Folk & Costume Museum in Saumarez Park. Inside there's the usual operating rod disappearing into the tank, but the delivery pipe at the side suggests something more complex going on down below. The tank is embossed with:
	Two lions' heads A lion couchant Two flower heads 1848
	Markings: None other. Manufacturer: Unk.

	In the dairy display at the Folk & Costume Museum, Saumarez Park, Forest. A shot looking down into the tank shows the bucket & clack valve. The tank is embossed with:
	NDMP SVDM 1829
	Markings: None other. Manufacturer: Unk.

	At the side of the main building at the Folk & Costume Museum, Saumarez Park, Forest. The tank is embossed with:
	A chariot (driven by a classical figure, drawn by lions and surrounded by cherubs?) Two flower heads 1897
	Markings: None other. Manufacturer: Unk.

	On Rue de la Masse, Castel - heavily overgrown. Telephoto shot. Markings: None visible. Manufacturer: Unk.
