Pump identification wanted

Post by topcop491 »

This pump is on an auction, just curious if anyone can identify it, based off the "star". I have tried to enlarge the photo to try and read the lettering, but it becomes so grainy that it is unreadable. Thanks J.D.

I had one of those, but someone swiped it. Don't know what kind it is.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Possibly a "Blue Star" pump. They were in Galva, IL. I am not sure if they had their own foundry or private labeled someone else's pumps. I have one of their catalogs and I remember thinking they looked real similar to the Flint & Walling pumps. I have never seen a F&W pump with the "Star" cast on it like that, but they may have done that for private labeling...??

Like usual someone had more money than me. Had the auctioneer send me better pictures. It was a USWE pump. J. D.

I thought I was the only one that had that problem of other peoples check book being bigger than mine. LOL. Seems like I never have much luck at buying items at auctions.
