Early motorcycle or bicycle brass tyre inflator pump

I had this as an accessory when I had a couple of very early motorcycles. Simply put, it doesn’t work! It will need an internal part to make it work. I have left the patina and resisted the temptation to make it all shiny as I wanted to keep it the way it was.

It has some very light dings here and there. The handle has a split or two but this is a lovely accessory for an early motorcycle. In reality, we would all probably use one of those plug in inflator motors to do the job.

It measures a total length of about 21″.
