Wooo---that is an old farm pump, Sunny.. That's a good picture for Joan (Retired one) in Michigan's January photo contest using the theme RUST. You should enter....
Gosh, brilliant. Older items full of character. None of this metric measuring either! Really like all your farm animal photos aswell. Saw lots of sheep on the top of a hill in the snow recently. Although they have their woolly coats, still felt sorry for them having to cope with the elements.
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

I love the color contrast. What a great old pump! You just don't see those around much (at least where I live) anymore.
Cool photo!

Another nostalgic, classic shot from you, Sunny. Lovely.
I love old stuff like that. Great colors - the blue and the red barn.
Now that is so cool. I just love old things like this and they always make such good subjects for photo.
Does it still work? great shot.
All of these last posts are lovely! I think I specially like the frozen waterfall!
God bless you!

Wow, that is so cool. The faceplate looks more like scales than something to measure gallons. I love the colors in this.

Take care
Very nice! I love the colors.
I love the old gas stations, and the offers we used to receive there. Thanks for inspiring great memories.
I wonder if it could actually still be in use, the hose looks almost new.
I remember a pump very similar to this on my uncle's farm in southern Indiana.
Very nice, but I'd rather have a free fill up with every dozen!
Wow ,that's been around awhile!
