Hello from a newbe. I found this website the other night while going blind looking at pictures in order to find out the make and model of my first gas pump. I have looked inside and out and there is no nameplate or anyplace where there was one. I hope the picture attached. When I hit Preview Post it did not show up. Can anyone recognize it or help me ID it? Thanks , Mike

They had a few versions and of course most are missing their sombrero!

Thanks to all for your help. Now I know what I have. So the pump is supposed to have a domed cap on top. Now I will have to hunt one up at a future swap meet. Again thanks for the help and if anyone can steer me in the right direction to find a bonnet. The pump is also missing its handle. Thanks again , Mike

You are right. We had a storm the other night and my wife was worried it would get blown down. No chance there judging by work it took for my son and I to get it off the trailer

i have a few extra handles for those but the bonnets are scarce. they are like a big giant salad bowl. they make the pump look great! there was a few different styles though. dick bennett might have pics of all of em. i dont have pics of mine but can get some if he doesnt chime in.

The Spun/Stamped Bonnet is approx. 26"-28" Dia. [Check internet for a LARGE Buffet Salad Bowl, that's what one vendor sells for Clear Vision Bonnets!]

Hi Mike,I'm currently restoring one of these. I too had a terrible time identifying it till the folks here helped me. The one I'm working on has the gallons etched on the cylinder and the door on the bottom skin is larger. It to is missing it's "sombrero". Neat pump! Jim

The bonnet they make will work, but it is a far cry from an exact copy...pump will look much better if you can find an original. But it's better than nothing, I suppose.
