This hand-operated pump is in excellent working condition. It is, though, rather hard to pump! It has both a drinking fountain and a fill station for bottles, jugs, etc. The latter is activated by pulling up on a valve cylinder, otherwise the water just goes to the fountain.
Prominently stamped into the side of the pump is: BAKER MFG CO. EVANSVILLE WIS. There is also a designation of NC above that. The water is sweet with no bitter aftertaste.
Is it Working: yes
