Welcome to my channel, in this video I will be restoring a vintage Kismet Duplex Master double barrel foot pump. This pump was a genuine barn find. The farm had been in business since the end of ww2. And most of the things I acquired were from that time period. These double barrel foot pumps are known to produce high pressures. From my understanding the larger barrel compresses the air and passes it to the smaller inner barrel where it is compressed once more before being released. These pumps were commonly used in ww2 to pump the pressure starting systems in spitfires. In addition you could simply pump you bicycle tyre with it. Although I’m not 100% sure of this pumps exact date, I do know it could be anywhere between 1930 and 1950. The main thing is it’s damn well old.
This is the first time I restored a foot pump. As you will see in the video I came across some leather seals. Since I had no idea where to purchase such a replacement from I decided to attempt making my own. I purchased an old leather bag and went to work. The two seals on the inner barrel were in pretty good condition therefore I decided not to change them.
I hope you enjoy the video and consider subscribing for more content.
