Picked this up this morning, it's my first clockface pump, and I think a pretty good one! I've got 13-14 computer and visible pumps, but never had a clock. It's a Sharmeter M0513, though it's not quite like the other 513s I've seen in Jack's book and the like. I get the impression they made a lot of different versions of it. All I can say is that it is HEAVY! Top is all cast iron, etc.

I got it off an older fellow who delivered fuel for 50 years and he delivered fuel to this pump during its life at a farm and took it home with him when it broke down. It's pretty much complete and real straight. Had a little rot in the lower corners, but I already found a metal fabricator to fix that.

I do however need a Visi for it if anyone has one.

Been a good two weeks... got a Husky can from my fiancee, found a clockface pump cheap and I'm getting married Saturday. I'm shocked my fiancee let me go pick it up 3 days before our wedding! Actually, not shocked, she's a good sport about my junk, I mean, treasures.

Chris congrats on getting married and the pump score! I have almost the same pump but mine has different bezels around the faces (more ornate) cast iron. I left the guts in mine because I love how the pump inside says "The Sharmeter" in heavy cast iron embossed lettering. Just to cool to gut even though it is heavy. Mine also looks as though it was a single product duel dispensing pump has a factory outlet pipe hole provision on both sides. Missing the visigauges also.
Take care,
And stay off Old Gas during your honeymoon LOL
