Picked this up at a yard sale today and can’t figure out what pump it came off of. Looked at a lot of pump photos on line but so far haven’t been able to match it up. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone!

It looks like it came off of some commercial gas pump.

Thanks Jack,

The guy at the yard sale said he found it in a 1950’s dump. The plate has a couple of waves in it, just never seen a face plate like this before with all the pumps I’ve come across over the years.

It is from a four wheel computer with separate totalizers, so it probably came off a pump from the 70s.

Fits a Veeder Root 101 computer. Computer was able to record over $1.00/Gal. Numbers on the Money wheels were smaller on the 10 cent and penny wheels.That is why those holes were smaller. Dollar wheels were regular size.

All the pumps I was looking at were much older. Thanks Pumpdoc for the info. Didn’t imagine it was from the 70’s. I guess the guy was off a couple decades on his dump years!
Thanks guys.
