Can anyone identify what pump this Williams Gas-O-Gun (with "ears") was used? Working on a Wayne 800 whose nozzle holder accepts a Gas-O-Gun with "ears". Thought I had the right nozzle but because of the flange as shown in the pictures (indicated by the pointer) the nozzle is prevented from moving further into the nozzle hole assembly. Any thoughts? My initial thinking was to cut off the flange, but I hate to alter something that's not so common, especially if my nozzle is designed for a specific pump. Dilemma! Thanks, Bob.

This is very interesting that these were “keyed” to different style pumps. thanks for starting this thread!!

I have a similar nozzle that I’ve had for years but only marked ST LOUIS and Pat Appld For. I’m curious if GasOGun was the original patent holder and other companies licensed the design or maybe the other way around? does anyone know more history about the company/design?

I have owned dozens of Gas O Guns though the years, and at least 6-8 with that tab, so I don't hink they are rare by any stretch. I can't disagree with Richard on the original useage of that version, but I see no harm in trimming off the tab to use on an 800, using that version on a Wayne 70 or 80 wouldn't add any value to the pump, but using it on an 800 would be the highest and best use.

That nozzle is for an American pump with the two nubs on the side. That is how you hang them on an American pump.
