Earlier this summer, I went on a little weekend trip with my family to the countryside. We stayed at a farmhouse, and right there outside the farm cottage was placed a well hand pump. Hadn’t seen those in a while, I thought to myself.

Being into antique things, that well hand pump managed to capture my attention really well. Of course, since the cottage kitchen and bathrooms were well-equipped with running hot and cold water in every tap, the well hand pump was of no use anymore, which was also a hint that that hand pump was really very old. I talked to the owner, and he was ready to sell it. Mainly, he wanted to get rid of it, so I got it off his hands really quickly, just for a few bucks, and it went straight into my trunk.

You might be wondering why I did that. Why did I go out of my way to get an old rusty hand pump when it could possibly be of no use to me? Well, let me tell you why. There is a massive market for antique well pumps. That hand pump looked really old, which meant if I correctly identified it, dated it, and valued it, I could easily make a considerable profit by selling it at an auction house or to any of the antique water pump collectors.

How will I do all of that? That is what I am going to explain in the rest of this article.
