Sherwood pumps.
« on: January 22, 2013, 08:29:45 PM »
Anyone know of a place to find out information on old sherwood brass works pumps? I picked up an old pump, mostly because I thought it looked pretty cool  ::). (I like old brass things)

On it:

sherwood brass works detroit
4601 or 4501 (hard to read)

Seems to have two impellers brass (kind of like an oil pump) shaft driven with a keyway, but appears that it was bolted directly to something (engine???) about 20lbs of brass! 1 1/4" NPT ports.

Didn't get very far with google and didn't want to bother sherwood (yet)

Sherwood made pumps for marine engines.  They frequently had rubber impellers for the raw water intake side and usually a bronze impeller for the engine cooling side.  The pump body should be bronze, not brass.
