@podbros @ROBBO55 @Tony Press I rechecked my 'Prestige' pump with the female fitting. It fits Kayen table lamps and the Kayen pumps fit the...
@Buckaroo Thanks for the comments and you are not alone in saying it's a 242K with the features you mentioned. I have previously believed it was...
@Tony Press Re the latter, were they in a plain rectangular cardboard box and from several to ten years ago going cheap. I might know a bloke...
Is there a reason why the entire part could not be made from brass?
Thanks Nils I spotted a supposed 1990 catalog that still had the 1550G so I reckon you are spot on.

Yes, seemed ok. Thanks
Surprisingly at Burnt Creek, just outside of Horsham at a 2nd hand dealer that has since closed down.
Thanks @JEFF JOHNSON , @MYN , @ROBBO55 and @Tony Press for the kind comments. That is quite uncanny, thanks for pointing that out.
