Wanted Pericaud Water Pump
« on: February 17, 2021, 07:07:36 pm »
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.

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.

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.
