Also, it seems like an awful lot of trouble for an individual owner to go through the hassle of having an ad glass panel silk screened speical for his pumps. What are the general thoughts on how this ad glass panel may have come to exist for this Wayne pump? Could it have been supplied by GOC?

Here are some photos of the evidence of the orange bottom, white top, and blue band.

Great info! Thank you. I was reading that as well about Gulf and the special pumps. Ad glass was not used on GOC pumps so this is definately an individual owned dealer equipment pump. The No Nox glass is on both sides.
Now here is the weird part...I have been able to confirm that below the blue spray paint, there is indeed a layer of white/blue paint opposite of what should have been for the early 50's. However, upon further inspection. it looks like below that layer, there is a layer of Orange on the bottom, white on the top, and separating the two colors right at the middle of the glass level, is a two inch blue band. If you look in the book at the Gulf schemes of the late 40's it mentions orange, white, and blue band paint schemes. This pump has two holes in the door on both sides where the sign was originally attached and those holes are 10" apart, so waa it most likely a round "Gulf NO Nox knockproof sign" on the door?
I think my goal will be to put it back to it's original state and trying to figure that out is one of the most fun parts of the hobby. The book talks about a 1" blue band, this is definately a 2" blue band and it was added after the orange and white layer it seems. ...just sent you a PM regarding the paint/sign scheme for your pump...I've got ad glass like yours, and many other styles - they could have been offered by the pump companies, or the oil companies...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

Many of the poor pictures of Gulf pumps that are shown in my 2nd Gas Pump ID book have been replaced with good pictures supplied me by many of you. I was expecting some pictures from a friend but he never responded to my emails, but I believe you will all be happy with the number of new Gulf pumps pictures that are in the book.

Thanks everyone. The decals were done by Automobilia. They did a great job reproducing the correct colors and size IMHO.

Looks great!!
Just remember that you can take those stainless steel hose guard trim moldings off and easily pound out dings, then wet sand and polish them to look like new. I bought a kit from Eastwood and repair all my own now.
Thanks Mike
