Worthington made pumps for the most part, they weren't all eye catchers, but some were brightly painted with fancy stripes everywhere. While I was able to pin down the model - Paten 24,838, model no 525, issued on 7/19/1859. I couldn't find an example of one that survived. So its a matter of guess work what it looked like. I found with bright colors, a lot like locomotives. So I went with that, a double two tone finish using two reds, two greens, and a lot of stripe work.
I'm pretty sure the original had just the one color and lines, but I think its snazzier this way.
