Looks like someone needs to do some casting and make some replicas.

Dennis, I will take one full size and one miniature  ;)

That thought had crossed my mind
Maybe in aluminium so no fear of mazac  crapping it self
With brass tube upright ?

I am glad I was able to introduce the pump to some of you.  It's a little more than I am looking for, but I did manage to track down a pump that comes with other Pericaud machine shop accessories.  If anyone is interested it's worth the look.  Also attached is a brochure which shows the pump.

Welcome aboard Danny  :)

These pumps does come up for sale now and then, will keep an eye out for you.


Hey Jan, you don't happen to have a third eye somewhere, do you? ::)

😂 😂

Well, we could save on shipping by bringing 3 over here in 1 box  :D
Maybe 4 😉 (& I am centrally located 😊)

Jan I don't remember ever seeing one of the squarish basin pumps before. Very very nice!

Wow I had no idea there was more than one!  Thanks for keeping an eye out. I have only seen the round basin model in various postings though the internet. 

Additionally, I would love to share photos with everyone.  However, right now my collection only consists of a VR1A by Graham Industries.  I will hopefully be ordering a Jensen model 75 this week to make the step into steam.

Just to ad to the thrill of the hunt, there´s at least 2 variations of these...

Here´s mine, showing the "common" one with a round basin to the right, and the slightly rarer version with a square reservoir to the left.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a Pericaud water pump like the one linked below.  I have also heard them just referred to as french water pumps.  Please let me know if someone has one they are willing to sell.
