Update!!! Friend of the Museum Bob Marr has solved the mystery!!!
He speculated the shiny machine in the first shot may be a Walker steam engine. We were perusing our Burns Fuller, and he is completely right.
As stated by Fuller, "Walker Foundry & Manufacturing Plant produced what was one of the sweetest pair of water pumps ever made up to that time. A pair of these furnished Fenton with water from 1887 to 1938. They were nationally known, and could be found in hundreds of towns and small cities." Thank you, Bob Marr!
