This is a galvanized metal hand cranked pump. In my day we called these "cistern pumps"..
This one is unpainted and ben around a while. Oral tradition says the school closed to students in 1967, pump has been here a lot longer than that.
I tried pump it worked mechanically, but lost its prime and water (foul) trickles but did not flow
Pendleton does not have a post office, and mail goes through Warrenton 5 miles east of here.
