This is the far left pump in the original picture. The top of the foot is blank & the bottom appears to closely resemble another Walker I have. Made right down the highway from me in Racine, WI. Most of the details are visible in the pictures. The wooden handle has a center mark in each end with 6 lines radiating out from it but they don't seem to be perfectly "in line". The extended length is about 37 3/4", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 2 X 6 7/8" inches. The handle is about 7 1/2" long & the band, or collar, holding it is about 1" wide.

The second one in the original picture, obviously another Walker but with a brass nozzle with steel knurled nut, chain, & other hardware. The top of the foot is marked US- ORD. (round "dot"). Neither of these Walkers have breather holes so I assume the air enters/exits through the gap around the pump rod. The wooden handle has a center mark in each end with 6 lines radiating out from it but they don't seem to be perfectly "in line". The extended length is about 37 3/4", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 2 X 7 9/16 inches. The 2 ft. long hose lookes like it was cut & the clamp at the base end re-used as the cut isn't perfect & there's pliers marks on the clamp. The handle is about 7 1/2" long with a 1" wide collar.

The third one, with a US- QMC marked foot. The underside of the foot too difficult to read but the foot appears to be of the same casting as the two previous Walkers with the obvious exception of what's marked on the top of it. The tube is obviously screwed into the foot as some of the threads are visible. The top nut is "less robust" than even the light duty Walkers, apparently known as the "short" nut. The band that holds the wooden handle is wider than the Walkers too. The wooden handle has center marks from the lathe with 6 lines radiateing out from it. No breather hole but the tube has a much more visible seam than the others. I think it's a Walker with different brand rod/handle/top nut assembly. The extended length is about 38 1/2", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 2 X 6 7/8" inches. The handle is about 7 1/2" long with a 1 1/2" wide collar. The hose does not appear to be original but is a nominal 2 ft. long with a brass fitting where the nozzle gets screwed in.

OK, here's where the confusion started in how I described these in the original picture so I'll stop refering back to that.
This is a Dalton marked pump with U.S. ORD. (square "dots") on the top of the foot. The hose fitting is located on the opposide side of the foot compared to all my other pumps & has what was refered to as a waist on another thread. It's actually two separate, but adjacent circular bosses (one for the pump tube, the other for the outlet fitting) rather than a sort of triangle like the Walkers have. It has a breather hole, octogon shaped nut, & no visible center marks where the handle was held in the lathe, which might explain why it's a little short when compared to the other handles. The extended length is about 37 1/4", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 1 15/16 X just under 7 1/2 inches. The handle is about 7 3/8" long with a 1" collar. The hose is a nominal 2 ft. (24") long & appears to be original & has a brass fitting where the nozzle gets screwed in.

This one is marked US- ORD (no period after the D) on the top of the foot. The circled N & a 3 is all I can see on the bottom. Same style casting as the previous Dalton but the outlet is in the same place as the Walkers. The top nut is a bit different than the Dalton as you can see & it too has a breather hole. The wooden handle has the center mark with the 6 lines radiating out but the shape of the handle is much different than any of the others. In fact, it's similar to one of the Walker handles but with more exagerated major & minor diameters. The extended length is about 37 1/2" , collapsed it's about 21 1/4", & the foot is 2 X 7 1/2" inches. The handle is just under 7 1/2" with a 1 3/16" collar.

OK, I must have sold one because there's only two remaining. This one appears to be a US- QMC marked Walker very similar to the third one above, including the "short" top nut. It has a top nut like the first two Walkers. The handle also has the center with 6 radiating lines. The extended length is about 38 1/4", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 2 X 6 7/8" inches. The handle is about 7 1/2" with a 1" collar. The hose has obviously been replaced but it still retains(?) the brass fitting where the nozzle gets screwed in.

The last one in my current collection. Obviously a US- ORD. (round "dot") Walker with very nice & easy to read info. The handle has the center with the 6 lines. The extended length is about 37 5/8", collapsed it's about 21", & the foot is 2 X 7 1/2" inches. The handle is about 7 1/2" with a 1" collar & the hose appears to be original & is about 47" long with a steel fitting at the end where the nozzle should screw in.
Here is a picture with the 6 lathe marks which are present on all Walker pumps.

There is also a link to another post about a shovel that I acquired with a part number on the wooden handle that also appears to follow the information in Jeff's link.

no me puse a buscar ...
y viste como es esto, antes de comprar me puse a leer y me pareció bueno que quede la info en el foro, gane la subasta de ML, era una Walker QMC, solo le falta el pico 
que lo digas! Es lo que tiene que premiar en el foro y el espiritu de la AACVM . Compartir y ayudar a restaurar vehiculos militares!
