Something else you can look out for, I've inherited a number of old Primus stoves, the sort that run on paraffin (kerosene if you're forring), and theyre brass and contain a pump. Whether it's worth vandalising such a dear old thing is up to you. Having said that, it would be nice to have a vintage stove as part of a stand or display, so perhaps you'd better not.

Check Ebay in aircraft parts, for an old brass fuel primer(Lunkenheimer?). May be sorta pricey but there are about the same size as the old oil pumps.

Got It! $16.00 and free shipping! The auction says the unknown brass tool next to the pump is "approximately 6 1/2 inches long, and 3/4 inch in diameter" So thats about what the pump would be if compleatly collapsed. Found it listed as "vintage brass kerosene lantern hand pressure pump" Thanks guys! Ill post pics once i get it back from the chromer.

Hi Velodrome...I've been looking at something I can make one out off for my project.....probally several different options....make it from scratch.....or use a brass-copper incedside pump..most of it already made....just have to shorten it down the plunger to size and make a nice brass knob end for it...DD

If the threads are right, a bakelite or plastic knob might fit. And what about furinture knobs/handles?

I've been twiddeling that in the back of my little mind and will be posting back once it arrives. IF the wood knob just simply unscrews, that would make the job quite easy.

Modern high strength adhesives would solve the fitting problem, just drill to the required size, asemble, wait.

Here is my manual oil pump. What does it actually do? Absolutely looks freaking cool! It has a spring in in and you can go through the motions as if you were actually pumping oil. I've done it at stop lights in traffic and people go "OOOOH". :)
