Bevin Bros Mfg Co. Was a bell mfgr from 1830's
They made many different brass casted items over the years. I have seen reference to Bevin bilge pumps in Marine directories in 1918-20 or so.
The friction wheel pump in question probably around turn of the century ?
Nostalgia-- as a teenager I belonged to a boxing
club, on the wall was a Bevin 10" bell, always
liked the bell ringing mechanism and all the shiny brass !

Thanks Richard. Glad I was able to take you back to your days in the ring. It�s awful hard to lose that love of shiny brass once you have it. |
