PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:

The “nodding donkey”, or pumpjack, is a common sight across the rich oil-producing regions of the United States. Whether groupedtogether in fields of hundreds or standing alone, the slow rocking motion of these visible parts of the vast underground oil extractionprocess typically extract between 2 to 12 gallons of liquid per stroke, unattended, 24/7, every day of the year, making them extremelycost-effective to install and operate. Their unique shape and motion have also inspired generations of creative artists to add paint andsheet metal to transform many examples into whimsical creatures, which have become staples of small-town tourist attractions. Thisrelease of the Atlas Operating Oil Pump includes a red white and blue version, as well as a Zebra patterned version.
