	i found a small touchmark on the brass head. it appears to be a circle with 1/4 not stamped in. a smaller circle within that. serial is 0202. the other one i have is seria l152. the two are almost identical

	Been quite a while ago.... I have been looking at my “Dell” lube pumps, and one has Charlie’s particular personal stamp beside the serial number. The other has a somewhat different and indistinct stamp there. I forgot who it was that he turned over the making of the pumps to. I believe that the “successor” used the remaining head castings of Charlie's and don’t think many were made. Also, the exterior knurling on the body of the original was a smaller coverage, covering less of the shank of the luber. Otherwise the two are essentially similar CHRIS

	I took over the pumps from Charlie, and made less than 50, IIRC, prefacing the serial number with a "D", for Dell, of course. Some were from castings I got from Charlie which were AMPCO 18 bronze, and some were brass castings that I got from Pete Allen of Allen Foundry. I also used a different knurling pattern on the lube reservoir. Charlie's originals were soldered brass 2 piece heads. I am pretty sure that all of Charlie's were marked on the head and lube reservoir with his "Chinquapin" (acorn) hallmark. Unfortunately, I can no longer make them due to physical limitations.
