CIRCA 1907 ORIGINAL WOOD BARREL CALIF.  ORANGE GROVE ORCHARD SPRAYER 

This magnigicent, Redlands California original WOOD BARREL ORCHARD SPRAYER is an almost unbelievale survivor,  It is as complete and unmolested as when it was in service a “bazillion” years ago!

From the steel spoke wheeled chassis this is a collectors dream. With its original red spray hose, spray wand with nozzle. to the magneto fired single cylinder vertical Novo “hit and miss engine” with its original crank, perfect manufactures nomenclature brass plate is too neat. Included in the complete original operating system, besides various valves, gages, and plumbing, is the original and complete Myers pump assembly.It is complete with the primitive steel tank auger drive chain! It is original, unmolested, unrestored and sorta “leaning here and there!”

This is a historical, most beautiful and rare survivior of the Califonia orange grove operations from the turn of the 19th century, and it’s loaded with patina.

 Is it in fully operating conditon? NO.  Could it be brought back to life? Absolutly! However I see its beauty in its present state! Your Choice? Thanks, Joe                                                       $3.5k
