A vintage cast iron hand water pump manufactured by Dempster Mill Manufacturing Company. This piece exhibits significant rust and wear, consistent with its age and outdoor exposure. It features a robust base, a central column with the manufacturer's name embossed, a lever arm, and a spout. The overall condition suggests it is a decorative piece rather than a functional item.

Condition

The water pump is in antique condition with significant rust and patina across the cast iron components. There is visible wear and tear, including some pitting and surface corrosion. The metal rod extending from the top appears to be a replacement or has been heavily weathered. It is suitable for decorative purposes or restoration.
