Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums Showcase and Stories, Petroliana My Wayne 60's I Just Bought Can You Help Me On The Decal?

I found these two Wayne 60's when I responded to a Craigs List ad about a Bennett. These were much better!!!! I can't wait to get into them. I think the Clockface will be a Polly Display Case and I want to redo the other in it's original fashion. I think the Decal looks like a Wilshire logo from what I can see. Kinda looks like the ones on T-way's Graphics website. ANyone have any ideas? If it is Wilshire that would go great with the Polly pump. I hope the photo helps.

Here is a Polly pump I just completed with the Wilshire decal on it. I got it from T-Ways Graphics. I modified it with different colors to match my pump. http://www.oldgas.com/shoptalk/ubb/Forum4/HTML/002275.html

That wide body has the hand crank option. Very cool

Looks like the ECONOMY WILSHIRE decal

I love that Wilshire Polly decal. I may have to go with that on on the Polly pump. I found these both for $2900. Not a smokin deal, but I didn't think it was that bad. My wife on the other hand..... From 0 to 4 pumps in less than 2 months.

Got the bug and you can't cure it. It's the economy decal like Dick said. Do one in Polly and the other in Economy. Would look killer. Ted

I am just amazed you could find old pumps through craigslist. Around here I have never seen any pumps for sale in two years of looking on craigslist, or any local online ebay posts. That is, except "restored" expensive gutless pumps.

tallrick....... you must be living in the wrong part of the country.
I usually see 2 or 3 a month on CL here.
I even bought a Gilbarco that still had the original porcelain Husky pump plates on it and all the guts intact.

In south Florida everything gets trashed on a regular basis. We have no real rural areas for pumps to end up in. Back in the 80's the state had a program to remove old gas tanks and all the pumps were removed then. I have not seen a single original pump available from 1988 when I got mine till today.

Newgasman, great score on the wayne 60s. They look great.
Tallrick, I see pumps on craigslist here in northern calif offten. I have bought six and a friend has bought five.

You know what everyone, take a look at T-Way's decals and then look at my decal again, this is a Wilco Avaiation Ethyl Decal. I think there has been another decal placed over it (see the greay area), but you can make out the Wilco if you look close and The Aviation as well. The Wilshire Oil Company is visible at the bottom too. I am almost positive. Does anyone make a globe that matches that decal? How about a picture of what the correct color scheme should be for that type of pump? Thanks for the help!

Most WILSHIRE pumps were the light Green, even the POLLY pump that I once owned & now belongs to Ted's son [Pollyman].
Mark Mendenhall has a RADIO WILSHIRE pump, it is also Light Green.
Have only seen 1 that had the POLLY adv. glass [Paul Mote's Turlock Gas Bash], all the rest had WILSHIRE adv. glass.

this is what you are looking for e-bay
