Hi all,

Ive had a reply from Les Mellor from the company below:

http://www.kennicott.co.uk/EN/Customer-Service/Lee-howl-pumps/

This chap has worked at the company since 1963 and he cant remember the pump being manufactured.

The closest that he can come to it is it may be part of the FIG 1163 range.

He sent me some pics etc of that range, and they are prity close to the mark.

Its not just about restoring things its Detective work as well, Private Eye Rab

Bolton and Paul of Norwich, aslo manufacture pumps to this design. I belave they orgionaly purchesed pumps from lee howel and rebadged the Bolton and Paul (look out with ones with the LH flag but with brass B & P makers plate) before they manufacture them with a big B & P cast into the side where LH had their flag.

very comon around these parts these days (East Anglia)

That is a Lee Howl Super Major pump. These are a common pump but no-one knowesbugger all about them. I have one at the moment, and have owned about six over the years,
