Four Oaks Knapsack No 102 Sprayer

[vhgmcbuddy]

Acquired this recently. I believe its a no 102 Knapsack? Happy if someone could confirm?

Its painted grey, with a galvanised or similar coated copper tank. It still has the original rubber hose with wire winding fixing on one end and modern pipe clip on the other. I suspect this is a later model.

Its missing its tank lid – anyone got a spare??

Paint was in reasonable nick, but the brass bits were black. I’ve cleaned these and give
a quick black paint respray to the iron and wood parts to tidy it up.

Looks quite good I think.
