Here is some pictures of my Wayne 519 visible gas pump i restored a while back. Done in the Red Indian style, my favourite brand. In the cylinder I added coloured Mylar that I bought at an art store. Was going for the effect of it still having some old dirty gas still in the cylinder. The other thing I bought at the art store was thin magnet material to attach the Red Indian decal and name plate and stuffing box. This way if I ever change the brand of pump to say Shell, just peel off and repaint the skins yellow. No drilled holes to fill for the different size brand names. This is the start to my Red Indian gas station wall in my garage. More pictures to follow.

Some more additional pictures. The fake rivets i made from old screw heads, ground down and stuck on plates to look like it’s drilled to the skins.

That’s a clever idea on making the fake rivets!

I always like to share and learn new tricks in this wonderful gas and oil collectable hobby. Take care.

Very nice. Looks more like a 515 than a 519. I can't see the gallon stops in the photos which a 519 has.

You might be right, not 100 % sure now, here is a picture of the gallon stops to hopefully clarify.

Here's what makes a pump a 519.

Skins have been replaced, not original.
