Plenty of fancy embellishments on this pump in Hardwicke, Glos:
floral motifs on the pump head and cap, a rose around the handle fulcrum, a
nice scrolled bucket hook, and the finial
seems to be in the form of a mace. Markings: "Beck & Co Lt London", on barrel, and "Beck & Co Ltd Engineers London Patent Antifreezing Pump" around the rim of the cap. Manufacturer: Beck & Co, London. |
