Roger,

For some background on the Fero Air Pump business, check out this page.

And don't miss the outstanding tale of the recovery of the first Fero Air Pump now
in my personal collection.  The author is, of course, that cunning linguist, the
GOOD Cloistered Oyster, Mike Royster.

I'm happy to say that I now have three Fero Air Punps now in my collection.  As faw
as I can tell, all three are runners.

I typically get 3-4 emails a year from folks who still own Fero Air Pumps or who
just acquired one who are looking for information and are asking the age-old "what's
it worth" question.  So, who knows, there might be a Fero Air Pump lurking in the
back of that garage just down the road.

The last one that I got was less than five miles from where I live!

See ya,  Arnie
