My Dad got it opened up and he said everything looks really nice inside. He said the lower cover was inside it too. He also said it feels like the pump may still operate. It turns out this is a Gilbert and Barker T88 oil or petrol pump circa 1910ish. Some had a globe tower with a globe. I'm guessing finding the tower may be difficult, so maybe I'll make one just so I can put a reproduction globe on the top.
