Inscription. Once a water source was found on a property, a well or cistern was dug and a hand pump was attached above ground to draw the water. People used a universal tin cup for a drink and a bucket to haul water to house and barn before the advent of plumbing. At one time every home and farm used a hand pump. This model dates from the 1920's.
