    Description

    Original owner! (as if that matters);  probably bought this in the 1970's or 1980's - no longer have the floor pump but I saved the head and attached it to the hose from a newer pump.  If you don't want the hose I'll remove it and just ship the head.   Not sure if the small rubber seal inside is still good to get pressure (might be ok), but if not it unscrews easily and I'm certain replacement rubber seals are cheap and readily available. Last time I bought a new seal my local shop had one in stock.
    I guess 'provenance' on a pump head doesn't matter either,  but it was likely in service at many cycling events including the legendary 'Superweek' cycling series in the USA, and I may have had it with me at the 1986 road World Championships in Colorado Springs, CO where, unfortunately, I was only a spectator watching Hinault, Kelly, Moser, Lemond, et al; and just a cycle tourist rather than a participant in the racing
