20,000$ 790 psi pump for $150, brand new. Your tax dollars at work.

Steam operated??

Any practical uses for this?

Remember that steam is a by-product in some plants. Might be cheaper to run steam than electricity.

Sold for 800$. 535 GPM and 795 PSI! Made by Coffin MFG., still making them. Probably was a great buy - seem to be boiler feed pumps run by high pressure steam.
