There are two types of the “old fashion pump” out there. One is called a pitcher pump.
It is good down to about 22-25 feet, depending on your altitude.

The other is a deep well hand pump.

There are a lot more sources out there. Google away.

Do a search for Bison Pumps in Maine. They manufacturer some real nice hand pumps, both shallow well and deep well. Not cheap but I expect they will last a long time.

Harbor Freight Tools sells one, probably for shallow wells. This message board posts links to their sale items and discount coupons every week.
