The tall pump is 11" big and is plaster and was white when I got it ...I got it at a thrift store for 3 bucks and painted to look kinda rusty. The lil one is a porcelain trinket box that my Mother inlaw gave me. Have a great day all.

I know this is a terrible photo, but it's the best I can do right now. Being the "Old Toy Doc", I should be able to add to this collectable of the week. I have many, many old toy gas stations and pumps that I'd like to share, but have most of them packed for the move. The one's I don't have packed, will have to wait until I am able to download photos on my new computer.
Here is a photo with some toys. A tin station with lithographed pumps on the sides, a cardboard station that was a candy store give away, little pedal cars from Hallmark, a tin visible gas pump with a bladder that holds water to pump into your toy car. On the very bottom is two Husky lighters that I couldn't find good photos of to put into last weeks collectable show and tell. Darn!
I'll look for better photos. I really wanted to post some better stuff here.

Hello everyone.

Here is a shot of Chris' collection of miniature gas pumps. Some are gumball dispensers and some are liquid dispensers. Chris will log on later and let you know what everything is.



Later . . .

Jim

P.S. Jerry (or anyone), send me your shots and I'll get them posted for you.

Thanks a lot for posting the pic jim.
As jim said some of the pumps are gumball machines, if you look close you can see the hole were the gumball drops out on both of the TEXACO pumps , the rest are drink despensers, yes you squeeze the nozzle and your favorite drink will be dispensed in to your glass, I started collecting them about 4years ago, some are very common like the Gilmore and the Musgo you can find them anywere , but the White Rose pump is a little harder to find, Pogogas found a White Rose for me up in Vancover, it's on it's way. I understand that there is a Gulf one out there , if any one has that one, that they would like to sell, drop me a line,I currently have , Red Crown , Texaco, Aviation Gas, Sunoco< Musgo, Supertest, Gilmore White Rose and White Flash, Im always looking for ones with brand names that I don't have. The pumps are 21" high and are diecast, Thank for taking a look.lets see some more collections.

Here's my little toy gas pump restorer at work



Below is my Topper Johnny Service station with parts mixed from both their body shop and gas station sets.



Below is my entry for smallest gas pump island. It is marked LEGO and is part of a 1960 Esso station kit. Smaller scale than today's LEGOs.



I haven't let my grandson play with any of those, yet. But we do have a great time playing with a 1960s Playschool wooden gas station. It is very plain, but sturdy. Takes imagination. He has plenty of that.

Here is a shot of my tin litho storage box (it's actually a Coke piece). I got it 'cuz it had to do with gas.

The pumps, Coke machine and the sign on the 'building' are embossed. And the 'roof' comes off for storage inside.
