Here's the photo of the "Mystery" pump, and the two islanders I got while in Oregon. Thanks Dick for all the help identifing it with just a verbal description.

Here is a photo of the side with the sight glass.

Here is a closer view. Yes, the dial faces and a cast iron side door are missing.

Two Tokheim 39 pumps found still mounted in front of an old gas station not far from my place. Lot's of good pickings at this place, but a "curmudgen" of a guy owns it all.

A Wayne 80 and another Tokheim 39 I picked up. The National A64 is from a prior trip.
I have a few more photos to share in an additional post. I had a ball while up there. We got our first set of house plans, but they need more work, so they are back with the architect. I'll be going back up next month.

Good score Don, I see the ever elusive B-D light bars jars are rearing their head once more!! Are these not the same screw rings and jars as in a Tokheim 36??

Ok, now it starts coming together. The kid? (mid 30's) told me that his dad had bought this pump for $400. way back when. He used to live in Los Angeles, but passed away about 4 years ago. He thought he had remembered "milk glass" lens's (another piece that Dick added) and if I'd known better I'd know those were Boyle Dayton light jars. (thanks dodo) I guess I need to learn more about the stuff I buy?
As for Fred's bash? I don't see any way of making that trip. I just got home, and have lots to do here, before I make the trip back to Oregon the middle of June. I have to start the "demo" of the standing house on the 15th. I was really looking forward to that bash. I made the last one, and it was great!

Here's a photo of the inspection sticker still on this pump. It's from San Francisco in 1940.

I got this photo just a few weeks ago and was wondering what those wonderful pumps were. Did Dick identify what they were?

Great photo Vern. They are Marked Wayne on the faces, but made after Wayne bought out Boyle Dayton. I've been told by Ron Scobie that he thinks they are Cut#1950 but I've not been able to confirm that.

Does anyone have a better picture of the face for this pump? Does anyone know who has one, so I can get a photo?
thanks
