[SEL] O.T. Massey Harris hand pump/Bentall grinder

[Jerry Evans]

Hi All,
         Apologies for the Off Topic but you all know that I swear by the 
knowledge available on these lists.

         I'm making wooden bases for a Massey Harris hand operated Well 
pump and a Bentall No.2 hand corn grinder and had just applied the last 
coat of varnish when I decided to do a bit of signwriting on them.

         Just the name and a short description of each unit including 
approximate years of manufacture of the 2 units. I do not want to try to 
date them exactly - just put in something to the effect that "these were 
manufactured between the years 19?? and 19??"

         This is where you guys come in! Can anyone give me some ideas of 
the manufacturing timespan (approximate is fine) that these units were 
produced??

         Thanks in advance - speedy replies will really be appreciated 
because I will then be able to finish them tonight (it's 5:25pm here)

Keep the revs up (or down)
