Just finished restoring this old Bowser 585. Was never a big fan of this particular pump, just really didn't appeal to me - not much "personality". But as we all know, a little paint and polish and it doesn't look half bad.

Looks very nice! Looks like you do very nice work.
Is it just an optical illusion or is that capco and lens elongated in the up/down direction? It doesn't look round.
Also, I can't wait to see what those red striped skins to the right are going on!!!!!

Thanks Steve, the globe is actually round. Might appear a bit elongated from the angle the picture was taken.
As for the skins to the right, they are going to a local pin striper for a little work and then on a G&B 176 w/original tinted cylinder. I'll share some pics once completed.

Looks great. I like the strong solid block look of 585's.

Very Nice!
Thanx for sharing.
Each one of these 585s that members restore and then post pics of on here, makes me really want to get to mine.
