I had been looking for a camel back for a few years when this one popped up about 4 years ago. Had to move and down size my shop since then and don’t know quiet what to do with it, it’s big and heavy. I bought it in Marshfield MA, a smallish suburban town bout 30 miles south of Boston from a widow selling her home. She said that her late husband had bought it from an engineering firm in the early 60’s, but she couldn’t remember the company’s name. He had it moved into the garage, it was never moved or used. A buddy and I unbolted everything we could from it than laid it down on its side into a trailer to move it. Once in the shop and reassembled, all that had to be done to get it running was replacing long dried out grease. We used it for about 6 months before putting it into “long term storage” I like to think I’ll start restoring it next year (2010) but have been saying that since I got it.
