Our pumps are fabricated using mostly steel with aluminum castings for the sides of the head unit with the curved drop downs characteristic of the art deco style. It weighs right at 300 pounds and shipping weight is around 350.

Parts are just fine, now another pump to be wary of. Paint it up, sell it, the next guy sells it, and now if no one is aware it becomes a Regular Wayne 50. Nothing like running down the value of a original. Reproduction Markings ??
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but happened out here with Three other high dollar pumps.

It is great that you have marked this, at least you are trying to offer a product and are being conscience of the problem we all face now.
Just look at all the reproduction 12" porcelain signs now on ebay that have been hammered, rusted, and what ever else to deceive a new buyer or an undereducated one.
Bottom line is Knowledge I guess.

You kill me!!
You come here riding on your high horse, like you're some sort of higher power....Then you try and sell reproduction pumps.
Your manufacturing skills may be sharp, but your marketing skills need a complete restoration.!

Nice work, I'm sure it wasn't easy or cheap pulling off this project. Whenever I come through Pilot Mountain hauling pumps I'll swing by some day.

Most know my opinion on repop stuff.
I understand the need for marked reproduction parts... Signs globes or what ever. When guys are buying 24" signs and reproduction pumps you are decorating! Reproduction needs to be marked period other wise guys are working at trying to ruin our hobby.
Thanks for marking your pumps! Please let us know how you are marking them so Jim can add it to our repop section for future reference.
Example... Texaco are marked at bottom reproduction and guys tried to wash the bottom to make them look like wear so they could sell them as originals. Sinclair pump signs are not marked other than an ink stamp on the back which people remove.
Is your pump marked where it can be removed?
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

They're marked in the base and in the head unit. They also will have a "pilot displays' badge on the side in the same location an original wayne badge would be.

They look great. Hope they do not cause the value of an original to go down. I have an original and would buy one of yours as well if I could afford it. I would like to have a Shell display pump to go with my Firestone one. Do you offer them in raw metal unassembled for a lesser price? Here is mine.
