Materials illustrating the range of Yough Pumps produced by Boyts, Porter & Co. of Connellsville, PA. Includes a 1922 catalog (8-1/2" x 11", softbound, 71 pages) illustrating the full range of pumps offered and proudly reproducing the awards the firm received at the 1903 Columbian Exposition; a "special catalogue" dedicated just to electric pumps (7-1/4" x 9", softbound, 30 pages), in its original mailing envelope; and a framed engraving of a 12" suction pump, 22" x 18".

Invented by Edwin Thacher in 1871 and manufactured in the US by Keuffel & Esser (which usually misspelled it as "Thatcher.")

Scales are in very clean condition, the base decal with instructions is almost intact and completely legible. 24" wide. No case.
