I have the following item and I cannot find it anywhere in my reference books or on Robt. Newson's excellent site.
It is a light blue cast metal stand with white plastic, almost square pressure dial(?). It carries "Free Air" in red text on an almost square panel, half way up the stand BUT it also appears to be fitted with a yellow plastic hose with what appears to be a white plastic petrol nozzle. I am assuming the latter was used because the manufacturer couldn't be bothered having proper air nozzles on what was probably a very cheap toy. Cast on the side is "Made in England"

I've checked my Kemlows and Master Models book, the Lonestar book and Robt Newsons complete site plus done some Google searches... nothing!

Please tell me someone here knows who it is by.....

Sorry I can't help with a maker Ian. There's a few of these pumps online but the sellers are guessing (crescent, barratt, hillco, britains, timpo, etc).

This one on ebay shows the dial and a different coloured pump (unless it's the photos)

I did find a couple on Vectis, both yellow, but they were in groups of petrol pumps and the maker's name wasn't there either. It may be worth looking for some petrol pumps with the same hose/nozzle.

My money is on it being from the 'Wardie Wee World' range of garage fourcourt accessories.

Kevin... I thought of that but it doesn't appear in my book on Kemlow/Wardie items... also can't find it in the Lonestar or Minic books.

OK - Kevin's comments niggled at me and I went back to my Kemlow/Wardie book ("The Illustrated Kemlows Story" by Paul Brookes, self published 2009 ISNB 9780 9561879 0 1) and found it.... must have turned two pages at once on my last check through. Sold as "A Wardie Product", it was identified as part of a set sold from 1958 as "K65 Air Pumps" - packaged in sets of 12 and sold individually at 1s/2d each. Photo below is taken of the photo in the book....
