Maybe some parts had been given to him as birthday, anniversary, and Christmas presents. Gifts have memories associated with them.

I know when I receive plumbing drain parts as gifts I develop an attachment.

Got a lovely cast iron drain from the wife for the 40th birthday. Even came with the oakum. Carry that bad boy everywhere with me.

I have never seen this type of ? before. Is it legal? Looks like it's made out of rubber.

No it has a public water system. Neither the buyer or the agent knows if there is a well on the property.

Earl
The pump appears to be a jet well pump. The pipe coming up from the ground is from the well. The hose bib is either to prime the pump or drain the system.
Regards Bill

P.S. These are typically used fro shallow well installations.
