Morning all,

So we finally got the keys and have taken ownership of zebec, we have found a great amount of items left over the years and found this.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks for looking 🙂

My dad had one too and it’s in my shed.

 

I made an adaptor to fit on a hose so that I can use all the different fittings that came with it. Hose pipe ban ??

This thread has encouraged me to dig out my father's other Brass garden sprayer. which is almost identical to this one. It needs a new pump washer, but otherwise looks intact.

 A wide variety of sizes available from these people :- https://www.base-camp.co.uk/Cups .htm

 

They also stock possibly the best selection of Oil lamp and Paraffin Stove spares and parts in the UK.

 

 

 

And run by a good mate of mine who I have known for the last 50 years! 😄

I have one just like that, for spraying insecticide etc on plants and trees

I have a notion that it has a leather washer which could be replaced if it's not working, not much else to go wrong.

Correct. Ideal for spraying woodworm killer on wooden boat hulls

I used to use my Nans to spray the aphids on her roses with just soapy water.

The Repair shop restored one of these a while back, you can get parts as they found a replacement for the missing valve.

Good call. It's got character and easily repairable. When you get a few flowerpots on the boat, you can go all Monty Don spraying them.

Ruddy good shout!
