An old bilge pump!

Okay, this is is the only thing I bought last night that wasn't green! I just couldn't resist it though. My parents had an old wooden boat that was built in the 1930's. We used a bilge pump just like this one on that boat, and sometimes my father would send us kids into the skiff to pump out rainwater that would collect there. He liked to put us all to work! They sold that boat, the Side by Side in 1965 and bought a beautiful old wooden Chris Craft. That boat was already named the JoLyn, and they kept the name. I loved it because I always thought it was named after me! My mother thinks that boat had an electric bilge pump, so we no longer had to use one of these contraptions.
