There is something deeply satisfying about an object made entirely for purpose. This early 20th century hand pump was built for workshop or industrial use — solid brass, turned wooden handle, tapered nozzle — and it still carries the quiet authority of something that was made to last. Sourced in Sweden, it is exactly the kind of piece that reminds you how well things used to be made.

About the Item

The pump has a simple, honest form: a long cylindrical brass body with a tapered nozzle at one end and a turned wooden handle at the other. It is well-balanced and noticeably heavy in the hand — the kind of weight that signals quality of material rather than bulk. The brass has developed an even patina across the surface, the result of real use rather than artificial ageing. The wooden handle remains intact, worn smooth from handling over many years.
