My Dunlap pump was on display at Wheelsmith in Palo Alto for many years but then I gave it to Peter Johnson in thanks for many small machining jobs he had done for me over several years. I was also in hopes that it might inspire him to make some replicas somewhat along the lines of Jobst Brandt's one-off double action pump.
Anyway, I remember having a small brochure for the pump and if I had it I may have given it to Peter, so an informative little brochure does exist.
Actually you might be more likely to find such a pump (or brochure) among the ranks of car collectors or restorers. I remember someone telling me that the pump was original automotive equipment.
I believe the brass double action pump was also called Kinsman and that Dunlap = Kinsman but perhaps my memory can't be fully trusted on this.
