Just finished a MS 70. I had 2 recast add glass tops from Cattail Foundry. Used 1 top for my Sunoco resto. The other top is for sale, $400. That includes 2 add glass frame holders and delivery to Fall Carlisle or the upcoming Hershey meet. I'm attaching pictures of both the actual top for sale and my finished top so you can see what the finished product looks like and how it fits on the resto pump. This is a rare piece in the our pump world but it makes for a super attractive pump if that's your direction. Best way to contact me is by text. Cell 443-570-7018. That way I can call you back and we can discuss the details. but I will keep an eye out for a PM. Bob

Hello to all, if anyone has a globe for sale or has any information on who may be selling one, I would be grateful if you could contact me.... I was looking for either of the two styles, although I would prefer the "visible gasoline" script. It would great to get one on top of my FRY 77.... not that it's not tall enough already without a globe I'll be attending the Hershey meet in October, I can meet there for p/u if that's an available option. Thank you.
Hello all, it's been awhile since I've been on here but I came across a really nice clear picture of the front of my grandfather's Exxon station that was in marienville pa, and I'd like to recreate the front of it some day and was wondering if about what kind of pumps were in the front of it. Any help is greatly appreciated do have a question about the happy motoring sign, does anyone have one of these that would be willing to give me the measurements of the size of the letters? Looking to have a sign made with that style letters on it. Not having any luck finding an original.
I have this 20" diameter red porcelain lamp shade that I can deliver to Hershey if anyone would like to have it. Has some chips and so forth so used condition. $50.00

When these were brand new. What was the color/finish of the fill tube and the over flow tube? Even the Lil pyramid that sets on top of the tube I'm assuming they were plated?? I can't imagine bare metal to rust and get in the gas I'm not going to plate mine. But would like to paint it in what ever color they would been when new Thanks guys

Found a Jay B Rhodes spout that I hadn’t seen before. First Rhodes stamped one I’ve found marked Mobiloil Arctic. All of the other narrow spout versions I’ve seen were bare or stamped Jay B Rhodes on the spout tube.
In 1900 4,212 automobiles were produced in this country.1,691 were steam powered,1,585 powered by electric storage batteries,and only 936 by gasoline.Gas had 3 things going for it at that time that the others did not.It was powerful,it was portable and it was cheap.
