I have a chance to buy this Bowser visible but cant seem to find the model in Jacks book, The top is round unlike alot of the Bowsers in the book. The cylinder is broke and the gallon indicators are gone. Sheet metal is good. What should I offer? Thanks Steve

Canadian version of the Post Sentry. Bonnet might have been changed.
Jack had to draw a line somewhere on what pumps to include in either book. Would like to see a book on pumps used around the world.

Sorry I don't have any idea about value. I hope they do something about the GULF sign. I see it coming down on top of that cool pump. I like the yard decor. Thanks for sharing a picture.

Some Bowsers had no indicators but gallon numbers on the cylinders like the clearvision. All Twin Bowsers had round bonnets and some singles. The Bowser cylinders are taller than others and next to impossible to find, in fact all Bowser parts are hard to find and it looks like your pump handle is missing also...all in all i would offer the fellow 700.00 for the pump and start looking for parts.mm


Wanted early tin litho signage.

I would give 700 for it gladly. Kim is right all twin bowsers had round domes but the square double has different round domes than the oval base bowser double. It looks like it is missing the fill pipes and the handle. One thing this pump has going for it is that it seems to have the correct nozzle. It is probably worth 500-900 but they will want 3000 right?

Kim & Ward are about on it for a price. I would go up to $850 on it since the square visibles are harder to find. Good find keep us posted smile
