I really cool, really, really big visible pump. The overall condition is awesome, the skins are good, the handle moves, and the Standard pump plate follows the contours of the pump. The only down side is the glass cylinder is broken, there but broken. My research indicates that that this pump could be ordered with the lights on top in lieu of a globe. The lights have definitely been on there a long long time.

Asking $ 2300

I have put the photo in my album here, but can't get it to resize to post. I feel challenged.

IF the Bonnet is White Porcelain on underside [as I see it], IT IS NOT ORIGINAL to pump from manufacture, Neither are the Spot Lights. IMO/Knowledge the Bonnet is to small to be original.
Standard sign is a Flat Pump Plate that has been Bent & screwed to pump, Never was made like Texaco Plates that are made Curved to fit round pumps [look Closely & you'll see MAN MANY FINE Vertical Cracks in porcelain].

Look a pictures in this link to see how Large an Original bonnet displays on the top of pump;

Thanks for your opinion Dick, it is well respected in the collector community. What color would the underneath side of the bonnet be if not white. I certainly did not intend to mislead anyone if I have. The information I received is not the same as yours. If there is a conflict in what I have stated I would appreciate it if the moderator would remove the post.

I'm Not trying to Dump your selling it. Someone has mislead you w/ information on what you bought.

Underside could be painted WHITE, BUT wouldn't be a PORCELAIN Bonnet, as it appears [white inside/red outside w/ spot lights on top].
Original Bonnets for this pump were very large [approx. 24-28" dia., easily damaged & hard to find to replace.
Your Bonnet w/ lights appears to be a station/driveway light [not to be confused w/ a Stationlighter attached to a pump].

DB is correct, I had one of those and the bonnet on top is way bigger & looks like a huge dome, maybe this top was added later if the other one was damaged at some point.

Thanks Goober
