Please remember that nozzles were a exchange item. A station operator always kept a few rebuilt nozzles on the shelf. When one of the nozzles on the pump went bad he just took a rebuilt one out of the box and put it on the pump. The old one went into the box. Every couple of weeks the rebuilder would make his rounds dropping off replacements for the one used and collecting his fee.
This is why it is almost impossible to find the original nozzle on a pump when you buy one.
Incidentally the same it true for computers.
Gilbarco either made their own nozzles or they had them made with their name on them. The OPW would have been a replacement.
I have some for sale, email me.
