Hello everyone! These are pictures of some of my overflow pumps which I have tucked away in a storage building in a remote location somewhere out of Ca. For those of you who know where this is please do not disclose the location on Old Gas. I just what to share some pictures of stuff for other members to enjoy! None of it is for sale at this time.
Every pump has a story!

This has got to be the most incredible collection I have ever seen. I LOVE IT!
It is great to see the pumps unrestored as I get older I like them better more and more that way it seems. Your a lucky guy I am envious!

Once you get all these restored, what next? Retirement? LOL..Very nice...
Posted By: Craig Osbeck Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Mon May 14 2012 12:39 PM
The three 36's have a different top in the center, what is the difference in the pumps? The two with the shorter tops, are they glass?
Great to see thanks, and at least it is dry there.

Great collection of pumps Rob! More important, I can't imagine the memories that you have every time you walk into that building. I know my mind floods with memories every time I enter my shop and my collection is sooooooo small compared to yours! What a great thing--thanks for sharing!

Awesome Rob! See you in a couple months!
Posted By: Chevroid Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Mon May 14 2012 03:40 PM
Rob - nice collection except for that nasty old Chevron junk, since I know how offensive that stuff is, I'm available to volunteer to help you store that "stuff"? As I told them at work... "hi, I'm here from home office to help!" Great collection!!!
Posted By: Alex Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Mon May 14 2012 03:45 PM
Rob--Very impressive. Very impressive. Question: What is the sign on that Wayne 60 that is inthe same picture as the Firestone sign? does that show how the Wayne 60 works as a display pump?

WOW!!! That's a nice line up of pumps.
Thanks for posting the pix.

Think a lot of us only dream about owning some of those! Great collection!
Posted By: st.rod Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Mon May 14 2012 10:14 PM
Wow is right Rob! And I will see you in Iowa as well. Just got my room confirmation. WooHoo

Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys! Lot's of memories are packed into that building. I have meet alot of nice people along back roads hunting down pumps. To answer a few questions: Craig asked about the 36 tops. The two short ones are fiberglass,but the center 36 pump has an original milk glass top.
The Wayne 60 has a copy of an original ad for a Wayne 60-S display pump which tells about it's features.
Looking forward to seeing some of you at Iowa Gas this year also!

Notice the SHELL European Porcelain Flower Box?
Rob has sold very little out of this barn, still has his 1st car stored there. I just looked thru all the pictures again & didn't see his 1st Stroller or Potty Chair!
LOL

Thanks for sharing Rob. It is better than I imagined. Can't wait to see it in person someday. I think I have over 35 pumps and I feel like I have almost nothing after looking at those pictures. Truly amazing.
Posted By: Loyd Pierce Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Tue May 15 2012 04:55 PM
Thanks for sharing, gives new meaning to 401k plan. Told my wife the other day I would just soon have mine buried in back yard-or petro.

Jason, VERY FEW ever get to go to AREA 51! I haven't been there for about 10 years. He Blindfolded me before leaving the Interstate, then pretty sure he drove around in circles a few times plus it was dark outside when we arrived.
Posted By: tjhvintage Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Wed May 16 2012 03:34 AM
they don't call him "Gas Pump" Rob for nothing.....Bringing another trailer load to Fred's this year? Hope to see you there. Tim

Wow, Rob!... nice "overflow" collection. Thanks for taking/sharing the pics and allowing us a peek.
Posted By: Gas Pump Rob Re: Part of my collection of pumps - Wed May 16 2012 03:28 PM
Thanks for the overwehelming responses and complements!!
Maybe I will take pictures of the CA pumps soon and get them posted!

Awesome collection,Great pictures enjoyed seeing them.

OK Rob,

After wiping the drool out of the corner of lips I now have to say I am very impressed with your collection. I myself am new to this but have already caught the bug and now know where it stems from for many others who collect. Personally, my passion is for the Electric pumps and the styles from the 40's to the 60's, all of which you seem to have covered. Thank you for sharing pics of your collection.

Graeme

I'm just sitting here with my jaw hanging open! Hard to believe this quality and quantity is considered "overflow"! Makes me really want to see the "good stuff". I especially like how nice most of these are in unrestored condition. Thanks for sharing.
