Delco-Light/United Motors Service Co. Was a subsidiary of General Motors (GM). The Delco-Light Farm Plant consisted of a gas powered stationary engine with a built-in 32-volt D. And was very successful in providing electric power to country residents beginning in 1916. A Delco-Light shallow/deep well pump was also available to provide indoor running water. This was quality made of heavyweight painted canvas and was used to both protect and advertise the Delco-Light/Pump display unit. A UMS Sales Representative would travel around rural areas demonstrating the Light Plant & Pump to potential buyers. Most likely dates from the 1920′s to early 1930′s era and was found many years ago in the attic of an ancient United Motors Service Dealer. 45″ long x 46″ wide (at base) x 18-1/2 tall. Is somewhat of an elongated-Pyramid shaped. CONDITION : Good used especially for its age. Has some paint loss/wrinkling/light soiling/some small tears, holes/an old patch repair/etc. When cleaning with soap & water I noticed that the painted graphics are still strongly adhered to the canvas. One side is better than the other. Please closely examine our photos for additional details. Please see my NOS Parts and Automobilia Listings.
