Vintage Hudson hand pump garden sprayer

This is a vintage Hudson Manufacturing Company hand pump sprayer, likely from the mid-20th century (1940s-1950s). Hudson was a prominent manufacturer of agricultural and gardening equipment, and their sprayers were widely used for applying pesticides, fertilizers, and other garden chemicals. These manual pump sprayers represent the practical gardening tools of the post-WWII era when home gardening surged in popularity. They are highly valued by vintage gardening tool collectors and those interested in mid-century agricultural implements for their sturdy construction, functional design, and representation of an era before electric and battery-powered garden tools became commonplace.
