Shand Mason & Co 2 wheeler manual pump 1893

Photo taken 10/10/11. This is in an a barn on a country estate in the West Midlands. It's a Shand Mason 2 wheeled 4 man pump. A date on the hubs reads 1893. It's just had a clean up to see if there were any nasties under the dust and to stop further deterioration. 3 very small spots of woodworm is the only damage. I suspect it will go under a tarp and stand for another 60 years...

C G, I take it this is a horse drawn appliance due to the length of the shafts? You have not included the history? I was interested in the drop tail-gate equipment at the rear, thanks??

This would most certainly have been an horsedrawn manual if a horse was available.In many cases though horses were unavailable and the manual would have had to be pulled/pushed to the fire.
Its a shame to see it just rotting away in some barn on a country estate.
