    This is all new to me, live in the desert with no wells:)

      This is a primitive antique pump that uses a chain with little cups spaced along it to draw up water.
      You don't usually see antiques like this one in such good shape; I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't have a working chain anymore.

    How unique. The only rain chains that I use now are hung from my gutters as a water feature when it rains.

    Interesting. I've never seen one of those.
