    Suprisingly valuable water pump.

    I found two very heavy & looked like cast iron, water pumps.
    These sorts, separate motor.

    I got them home & checked them, hmm brass. Removed the steel (just the shaft & bolts).
    Took them into the scrappers, turned out they were a special bronze - $80 each!
