Notes

Color is coming off, use to be a cream white color now it is chipping away and the color is a brownish black. They are both still mounted on the wooden stand. Handle, which is made of wood is not roting or cracking. No screws or bolts are missing. Might be able to still work (at the moment the handle is held in one place-so no one can use it- with silver wires, so its a possiblity it still can pump)
