I am one of the contributing editors for the "Check the Oil!" magazine, the voice of the I.P.C.A. The I.P.C.A. is the largest club for the petroliana collectors. In July, 1995, I wrote an article about the American Pump Company, and put in the article quite a bit of their history. Your grandfather was mentioned in the article, and maybe your father Roy Scheiding Jr. I have been able to find more information on the company since that time, so if you have any specific questions please contact me.

Click on the gas pump site, click on the "CTO" articles, it is about the 2nd or 3rd one down the list.
