An early 20th-century vintage mechanical foot pump, manufactured by the prominent engineering firm Hattersley & Davidson Ltd of Sheffield, England. The main vertical cylinder bears the maker's distinct oval maker's mark reading "Hattersley & Davidson Ltd, No. 9, Sheffield, England." The piece features a rugged steel foot pedal mechanism with a heavy-duty compression spring, which connects via a flexible hose line to the main vertical reservoir tank. The top assembly includes an adjustable brass core valve secured by large industrial wing nuts over a base that retains traces of its original vibrant red paint finish. Showing an authentic, untouched aged patina with heavy surface rust and wear consistent with its vintage utility, this exceptionally robust industrial piece presents an excellent restoration project or a highly characterful display item for collectors of classic garage and automobilia memorabilia.
