Wow, looks like that pump had a really hard life, both during and after it's service life! The fissures in the casting around the pivot pin are especially suspicious, makes one wonder if it had the proper thickness spacer block installed. Certainly not rebuildable.

That's an AC "494" pump, used by Packard on their 8 cylinder (senior) models from 1933 thru 1937 and perhaps 1938. I suspect most owners who tour in their cars have an extra but beyond that they aren't what I'd call plentiful. It's an especially rugged and competent pump unit.
