Has anyone ever seen these pump toppers? Looks like a Doty pump according to Jack's book.

Tim, Those aren't toppers, those are all Wisconsin visibles! I've searched high and low for that pump and haven't found one yet  The circular part on top was glass and would light up at night. Check out the last page of Jack Sim's price guide and you'll see this pump. So cool. Kind Regards, Goober

I had never noticed those in the book before but you are right. The picture came from Wisconsin so that would make sense. I would love to have one of those.

Those glass circles are designed to hold globe lenses. Good Luck finding one, I also have searched high and low for without success. Talked to an old bulk truck driver who remembered seeing a handful of them. That was the only luck I had.

Really cool pumps  ; I enlarged the picture in an attempt to see the tops better. Hopefully a member who has one in their collection might share a picture.

You guys treat me book like a Playboy, you go to the pictures first.
There is a very short history of the company in the front of the book.
I went to Madison, WI to research the company, found nothing, not even an address.

Those pumps are way cool. Too bad there's no lenses in them.
Thanks for posting this.

They almost appear to have a Greek/Roman column body correct?

I dont know of any pump dealers or collectors that have seen this pump. I have seen quite a few pumps and seen quite a few collections, but nothing on this one. I would love to see one of these in person, let alone have one.
Sorry Jack but your book has a lot of cool pics and I for one greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into it, but I promise you I do read about the pump companies too;)
Hope Everybody has a good weekend!!
Easy

My comments are the same as TNs. I wonder if Kyle Moore had one?

Sorry Jack,
Your hard work has helped all of us as well as the hobby. Thank you for your help and cooperation with literature as well. I found a Ferro today but no Wisconsin. I'll buy you a beer at Iowa Gas this year.
Kind Regards,
Goober
