absolutely provide a pic. I used to work on them and some of the info on the plate tells exactly what it is. is it just the plaque or the whole pump. they were very good pumps and easy to work on and parts are still available.

I attended an NFPA Fire Safety Congress in Denver, CO in 2000.
'AC Pump' had a large display of 'Fire Engine Red' Fire Pumps.
I believe they are still in business, but under a different name.

ITT Pump has the AC line of pumps, Siemens has the AC line of electric motors and generation equipment.
