This listing is incredibly rare and historical. WWII veteran, Henry Arends from Clay County, South Dakota (born 1913, died 1983) was gifted at making things with his hands. As you can see from the article, from June 29th, 1980, he enjoyed delighting others with his creations. He brought some of his models and miniatures to the Iroquois Centennial celebration. (Article from the Huron Daily Plainsman). Look closely at the article… Pictured are a few of these miniature farm water pumps! This is an amazing piece. Look closely at all the pictures. Measures about 7 1/2″ long, 5″ wide, 9 tall. He made the pump to actually work! See the underneath where water can move from the drain hole in the vessel, down underneath the wood platform and back up through the pump and out the spigot. I’ve never seen anything quite like it. The label underneath the platform says, Henry & Isabelle Arends DeSmet, SD 57231. The newspaper article is from 1980, Henry passed away three years later. Such an incredible piece.
