I am very pleased thus far, and will report if there are any issues in the future.
The overall quality seems to be good and I had no issues installing it. It serves it's dual function providing water where I needed it and looking nice - a throwback to earlier times. I probably have a need for another pump like this in the near future and won't hesitate to purchase another.
The new pump looked like it came from the same molds, but I notice that the down rod is significantly thicker, so I expect it to last longer than the old one before corrosion thins it.

I have not as yet tested this to the depth it is designed for.
